Question

which of the following diffuse faster.? Water vapour. Wax or ethyl alcohol

Answer 1

1st water vapour will diffuse faster.
then ethyl alcohol and then wax will diffuse faster.

Answer 2

Water vapour diffuses faster than ethyl alcohol or wax.

Explanation:

When the matters of two different types of particles of are intermixing on their own, this is called as diffusion. The diffusion rate increases with increase in the diffusion temperature of the substance. It is a natural process. Diffusion process occur place in the “solid, liquid and gas”. Since water vapour is in the state of gas, the kinetic energy is maximum between the particles in the gases. Therefore, the movement of particles is in high speed and its movement has no fixed shape and volume. Gases diffuse faster than solid and liquid. The inter molecular space in gas is more and inter molecular forces are less.
