Generally, shorter distances result in faster diffusion as particles have less space to travel. This is because diffusion is a process that relies on random motion. Therefore, a shorter distance allows particles to move and collide more frequently, leading to faster diffusion.

Do liquids diffuse fast of slow?

No. Diffusion is faster in gases.


If ΔG for a process is large, is the rate at which it occurs fast?

no, not necessarily


Does diffusion occur slow or fast?

Diffusion can occur at varying speeds depending on factors such as temperature, concentration gradient, and molecular size. In general, smaller molecules diffuse faster than larger molecules, and higher temperatures typically increase the rate of diffusion.


What are the factors that affect facilitated diffusion and why do they affect it?

Factors affecting diffusion are: 1) Temperature: The higher the temperature, the higher the rate of diffusion. Example: Put potassium permanganate in a beaker with water (room temp.) and do the same in a beaker with water (boiled). The potassium permanganate would spread faster in hot water. 2) Size of particle: The bigger the particle, the higher the energy to diffuse. 3) State of matter: Solids take more time to diffuse compared to liquids, liquids take more time to diffuse compared to gases, and gases take less time to diffuse compared to liquids and solids. Example: Light an incense stick. The smell of the smoke (from the stick) would reach you as soon as it is burned. The smoke diffused very fast. 4) Nature of matter: The denser the matter, the slower the rate of diffusion. Example: Honey in water would diffuse slower than ink in water. (Honey is denser than ink.)

How fast does diffusion take?

Faster diffusion will take place if the surroundings are warmer. Increase in temperature means an increase in molecules' speed (kinetic energy).


How does mass and velocity affect distance an object will travel?

The distance an object will travel is influenced by both its mass and velocity. A higher mass requires more force to move the object, which may affect how far it can travel. Additionally, the velocity of an object determines how fast it covers a distance, with higher velocities leading to the object covering more distance in a shorter amount of time.


Why was it important to keep the beaker out of sunlight in a diffusion lab?

to prevent the water molecules from changing its temperature i.e the rays of the sun would affect the time of how fast the substance (e.g manganate) diffuses in other words ths increase in the rate of diffusion. :) hope it helped (y)
