Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Particles And Purification (Section 10 - No. 16)

How is the rate of diffusion affected by temperature?
It increases with increasing temperature.
It decreases with increasing temperature.
It is unaffected by temperature.
It increases then decreases with increasing temperature.

Explanation

Higher temperatures provide particles with more kinetic energy, increasing the rate of diffusion.
