What is diffusion in gases?

What is diffusion in gases?

Diffusion in gases is the process by which gas molecules spread from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Can you give me an example of diffusion in gases?

Sure! A common example is when you open a perfume bottle in a room; the scent molecules diffuse throughout the air.

What factors affect the rate of diffusion in gases?

The rate of diffusion in gases is affected by temperature, molecular weight, and the concentration gradient.

How does temperature influence diffusion?

Higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of gas molecules, leading to faster diffusion rates.

Is diffusion in gases the same as in liquids?

Not exactly. Diffusion occurs in both states, but it generally happens faster in gases due to greater molecular movement.
