MP Board · Class 9 · Science · Matter in Our SurroundingsDefine diffusion and explain how temperature affects the rate of diffusion.
Step-by-Step Solution
Diffusion is the process of intermixing of particles of two different types of matter on their own. The rate of diffusion increases with an increase in temperature. This happens because increasing the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the particles, causing them to move much faster and intermix with other particles more rapidly.
