      • Diffusion in liquids is slower than gases but faster than solids. This is because the particles in liquids move freely so it can diffuse easily. Diffusion will also depend on the movement of the particles in the substance.

  2. Why do liquid molecules diffuse more slowly than gases? Flexi Says: Both diffusion and effusion are related to the speed at which various molecules move. Diffusion in gases (mixing) is nearly instantaneous. If you release a colored gas in a container of non-colored gas, the color spreads evenly throughout the container in a second or two.

  3. Diffusion: Molecules in liquids diffuse because they are in constant motion. A molecule in a liquid cannot move far before colliding with another molecule, however, so the mean free path in liquids is very short, and the rate of diffusion is much slower than in gases.

  4. Feb 16, 2020 · All of the factors affecting diffusion can have a combined effect. For example, a small ion may diffuse more quickly through a viscous solution than a large sugar molecule. The ion has a smaller size and thus is able to move faster. The large sugar molecule moves slower because of its size.

  5. Feb 13, 2023 · For a gas, the rate at which diffusion occurs is proportional to the square root of the density of the gas. The density of a gas is equal to the mass of the gas divided by the volume of the gas. If the volume is held constant one gas is compared with another with another, R2 R1 = √M1 M2.

  6. Diffusion is faster at higher temperatures because the gas molecules have greater kinetic energy. Effusion refers to the movement of gas particles through a small hole. Graham's Law states that the effusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles.

  7. May 27, 2024 · The rate of diffusion in liquids is slower than in gases because the particles in liquids are closer together and have stronger intermolecular forces, which hinders their movement...

  8. The diffusion rate depends on several factors: temperature; the mass of the atoms or molecules; the concentration gradient (the increase or decrease in concentration from one point to another) the amount of surface area available for diffusion; the distance the gas particles must travel.
