Why the rate of diffusion is more in gases? |
|
Answer» 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. Rate of diffusion is more in gases because particles of gas can move freely in any direction due to large intermoleculer spaces present between them. They also have very low intermoleculer binding force and thus, rate of diffusion is more in gases as compared to other states of matter. |
