Question

why does honey diffuse in water at a slower rate than ink?

Answer 1

Honey diffuse in water at a slower rate than ink because honey molecules have density than ink.

Explanation:

• The ink particles are diffuse easily in water than Honey.

• And the ink particles are very smaller, so it is faster at diffusing in the water.

• But Honey’s particles are larger than the ink. So, the diffusing of honey is slower than the diffusing of ink in water.

• The major reason is viscosity of the liquids which results in diffusing.

Answer 2

Answer:

The honey diffuses in water at a slower rate than ink because the density of honey is higher than that of ink and its viscosity is also higher than that of ink.

Ink is made up of small particles and it occupies the space in between the water molecules.

Viscosity: Viscosity is the property or state of having a semi-fluid (thick) consistency.

Density: A substance is said to be dense if it has a huge force of attraction between the particles.
