Question

2. Why rate of diffusion is faster in gaseous state ?
3. Why sponge though compressible is a solid ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because in gasses there is intermolecular forces is less and have huge space between particles so diffusion is faster

Answer 2

Explanation:

2. The rate of diffusion is faster in gaseous state because the gaseous particle have greater kinetic energy and moves faster. The greater kinetic energy helps them in the diffusion. They also have large intermolecular space that helps them in diffusion.

3. A sponge is a solid because of space between the particles of sponge. So, the sponge can be compressed. Yet it is solid in nature because there is a force of attraction between the particles of sponge.
