rate of diffusion

The rate of diffusion refers to how quickly molecules spread out from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. It depends on factors like the concentration difference, temperature, and the size of the molecules. When the concentration gradient is steep, diffusion happens faster. Higher temperatures increase molecular movement, speeding up diffusion. Smaller molecules also diffuse more quickly than larger ones. Overall, diffusion is a natural process of molecules evenly distributing themselves to reach balance without the need for energy input.
