Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What happens to the rate of diffusion as the temperature increases?
A
It decreases
B
It increases
C
It stays the same
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As we increase the temperature, the rate of diffusion becomes faster due to an increase in the kinetic energy of particles.

Detailed explanation-2: -When temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles has increased. The increased motion of the particles causes them to diffuse faster. Therefore, at higher temperatures, the rate at which fluid particles will diffuse is faster than at lower temperatures.

Detailed explanation-3: -At higher temperature, particles have high kinetic energy and move faster hence they diffuse more rapidly.

Detailed explanation-4: -When temperature increases it increases the kinetic energy of particles which results in increasing the rate of diffusion of the particles.

Detailed explanation-5: -The higher the pressure, the denser is the molecule packing, the less is the free-path length, and the slower is the diffusion. The same occurs as molecule mass and size increase.
