Question

3. The movement of particles from higher concentration to lower concentration is called diffusion. Which diffuses faster? Gas or Liquid? Give explanation. I want long answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gases diffuse faster than liquids. This is because the particles of gases are much farther apart from one another as compared to the solids and liquids.

Explanation:

Odors diffuse through the air, salt diffuses through water and nutrients diffuse from the blood to the body tissues.

This spread of particles through random motion from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration is known as diffusion. This unequal distribution of molecules is called a concentration gradient. Once the molecules become uniformly distributed, dynamic equilibrium exists. The equilibrium is said to be dynamic because molecules continue to move, but despite this change, there is no net change in concentration over time. Both living and nonliving systems experience the process of diffusion. In living systems, diffusion is responsible for the movement of a large number of substances, such as gases and small uncharged molecules, into and out of cells.

Answer 2

Answer:

Gaseous particles are in constant random motion. Gaseous particles tend to undergo diffusion because they have kinetic energy. Diffusion is faster at higher temperatures because the gas molecules have greater kinetic energy. Effusion refers to the movement of gas particles through a small hole.
