Which of the following will increase the rate of diffusion?
Increasing the temperature of the substance.
Using a substance with larger particles.
Decreasing the concentration gradient.
Using a substance in a gaseous state.

Explanation

Higher temperature increases kinetic energy, leading to faster diffusion. Diffusion occurs faster in the gaseous state.
