Diffusion will constantly take place. However the net transfer of particles will cease when a concentration equilibrium occurs.
I.e. you have a piece of iron with 0% carbon. you put it into a 20% carbon atmosphere. The carbon will diffuse into the iron until the concentration of carbon is the same in both the iron and the atmosphere. Diffusion will then still occur, but there will be diffusion to the bar and diffusion from the bar at the same rate.

∙ 14y agoThis question is meaningless. The rate of diffusion depends what substance is being diffused through what other substance, and what the temperature and pressure are.
There is a standard school experiment using bromine diffusing through a tube containing a vacuum and a tube containing air which shows this.

Why is diffusion important to animals?
Because diffusion is how chemicals travel in and out of the animal's cells. If diffusion didn't occur then the animal would die.
Where does diffusion occur in fish?
Fish use diffusion and osmosis to keep their tissue healthy. Diffusion starts in the gills and for some small molecules can happen in the gut walls as well.
Where in the human body does simple diffusion occur?
Simple diffusion occurs in many parts of the human body. Some of these include in the lungs, the skin and in the kidneys.
What is the difference between passive diffusion and facilitated diffusion?
Passive diffusion is what naturally happens without any assistance of any sort. Facilitated diffusion requires extra energy from extra sources to happen.
How do roundworms breathe?
Roundworms do not breathe in the way that humans or animals do. Roundworms take in oxygen through their skin and into the cells. The term for this is diffusion.
How diffusion will occur?
diffusion is occur when different concentration gradient is applied
Where diffusion occur?
Diffusion occurs on the cell membrane.
How cultural diffusion occur?
Televisions and the internet are making cultural diffusion take place more rapidly than ever before. I hope i helped :)
How does cultural diffusion occur?
Cultural diffusion occurs when cultural elements, such as ideas, beliefs, practices, or technologies, spread from one society to another through contact and interaction. This can happen through trade, migration, conquest, or technology transfer. As cultures come into contact with each other, they often adopt and incorporate aspects of one another into their own traditions, leading to a blending and sharing of cultural elements.
WHEn does diffusion occur?
Diffusion is quicker at high temperatures and pressures.
Diffusion can occur with no?
no energy
Why do gases show the property of diffusion?
Diffusion occur in all phases.
For diffusion to occur there must be?
For diffusion to occur there needs to be a concentration gradient. Which means that the concentrations on the two sides must be different. In diffusion the particles flow from high concentration to low concentration.
What must there be for diffusion to occur?
a gradient
Does diffusion occur in plasma?
Yes.
Does diffusion occur in the digestive system?
Diffusion occurs when something something something
What does concentration have to do with osmosis and diffusion?
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
