How are we able to get the smell of hot food from a distant place ?


ashuking: Solids diffuse at a very slow rate. But, if the temperature of the solid is increased, then the
rate of diffusion of the solid particles into air increases. This is due to an increase in the
kinetic energy of solid particles. Hence, the smell of hot sizzling food reaches us even at a
distance, but to get the smell from cold food we have to go close.

it is due to diffusion of the smell which spreads soon from the region of low pressure (due to heating) to surrounding high presure where the temperature is comparatively lower

hope it helps

Generally, particles in the higher temperature possess high kinetic energy thus moves faster over a longer distance. Therefore the smell of the hot food reaches the person several meters away.
I hope you got the answer


RihanaSingh: I already have the answer .It was just to chect your intellect , sir .
Sunny20167: tik ha mam
