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: -Diffusion is caused by the movement of atoms or molecules from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of matter increases and more intermixing of matter takes place.

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: -Diffusion is all about the movement of particles, so with an increase in temperature particles have more kinetic energy which means they will move faster from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
