Question

why do gases diffuse at a fast rate

Answer 1

Gaseous particles tend to undergodiffusion because they have kinetic energy. Diffusion is faster at higher temperatures because the gasmolecules have greater kinetic energy. Effusion refers to the movement of gasparticles through a small hole.

• Gaseous particles tend to undergo diffusion because they have kinetic energy.
• Diffusion is faster at higher temperatures because the gas molecules have greater kinetic energy.
• Graham's Law states that the effusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles.
