What is diffusion and how the rate of diffusion depends on density and write some applications of diffusion.


Diffusion is the movement of particles (gases or liquid) from their higher concentration to lower concentration with any external disturbance as they internally collide with each other and eventually spread throughout the empty space.
Rate of diffusion depends on many factors like:
Temperature
Mass Of distribution
Some Applications of diffusion are,
Perfumes (or air fresheners) – when sprayed in one corner of room, it passes and spreads throughout the room
Respiration and many other body processes includes diffusion
Intracellular motion in plants and some substances also take place due to diffusion.
