Question

plz plz plz answer this
why diffusion in gas is quicker than liquid? give three reasons​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because gas molecules have more kinetic energy and are smaller than liquid molecules. diffusion in liquids is slower because the particles in a liquid move more slowly. it happens faster if the temperature is increased.

Temperature: Higher temperatures increase the energy and therefore the movement of the molecules, increasing the rate of diffusion.

solid particles have the least movement in this state of matter. the diffusion is fastest in gases as the molecules present in it have large amount of intermolecular space.

Answer 2

Answer:

diffusion is defined as the flow of substance from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration..

if we compare intermolecular force between liquids and gases

1) the particles in liquids are loosely packed as compared to solids

2)in gases the particles are free that is there is more space between the particles.

because of large intermolecular spaces the diffusion is faster in gases as compared to solids...
