Question

Explain why diffusion occur more quickly in a gas than in a liquid

Answer 1

Hello mate.
In gases the intermolecular spaces are much more than that of liquids.. Thus the molecules in gases have larger space to put and diffusion takes place easily while in liquids because of less intermolecular spaces the diffusion is less. Thus kinetic energy is higher in gases than liquids and diffusion takes place easily.

Answer 2

the spaces between the constituent particles in gases are higher than in liquids. thus particles in gases posseses high kinetic energy and move with higher speeds. becoz of this reason difussion occurs quickly in gases than in liquids. .


hope it helps uu frnd...
