Answer 2

We can smell incense sticks lit in one room but cannot smell the cold drink placed in the dining room. The reason for that is the process of diffusion.

• When an incense stick is lit in one corner of the room, its fragrance spreads in the whole room because of diffusion which occurs when particles spread.

• The particles of matter are continuously moving in the air which is directly proportional to the diffusion.

• Also, the kinetic energy of particles increases with heat.

• Thus, an incense stick has more kinetic energy which results in fast diffusion of particles in comparison to cold drink which is cold.
