Question

What is the effect of temperature and density of liquid on the rate of diffusion

Answer 1

Diffusion increases with increase in temperature. This is because increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of the particles which is responsible for the increase in rate of diffusion.

Diffusion decreases with increased density.

Answer 2

Answer:

Diffusion is directly proportional to temperature as it increases the kinetic energy of the molecules and inversely proportional to density of the substance. On increasing the temperature, the diffusion increases and on increasing the density of substance, the diffusion decreases and vice versa.
