Question 1

What factors affect the rate of diffusion?

Answer 1

• state
• mass of particle

Question 2

The lighter the particle………?

Answer 2

…… the quicker it diffuses

Question 3

Does diffusion increase or decrease with a higher temperature?

Answer 3

increase

Question 4

In which state does diffusion occur fastest in and why?

Answer 4

A vacuum because there are no air particles to collide with otw

Question 5

In which state does diffusion occur slowest in and why?
