What is Diffusion?

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration.
It occurs in fluids (liquids and gases).
Diffusion is a passive process – no energy input is needed.
Particles move due to their random motion (kinetic energy).

Particle Motion in Fluids

In liquids, particles are in contact but can flow past each other.
In gases, particles are far apart and move quickly in random directions at a range of speeds.
Random motion of particles causes Brownian motion.
Particles in a fluid are constantly moving and colliding.

Factors Affecting Diffusion Rate

Temperature: higher temperature → particles move faster → diffusion is faster.
Stirring (in liquids) speeds up diffusion by distributing particles.
Concentration gradient: steeper gradient → faster diffusion.
Air currents (e.g., a fan) can speed up diffusion in gases.

Examples of Diffusion

Dye spreading in water: dye particles move from high to low concentration until evenly spread.
Deodorant spreading in a room: gas particles diffuse through the air.
Smell of food cooking travels through the kitchen.

Key Points to Remember

Diffusion is not from low to high concentration – that is false.
Diffusion happens in both liquids and gases, not just one.
Rate of diffusion increases with temperature.
Stirring or using a fan increases the rate of diffusion.

Particle arrangement in solids, liquids, and gases. Diffusion occurs in liquids and gases where particles can move.

## Diffusion - **Definition**: Diffusion is the movement of particles from a **high concentration** to a **low concentration**. - **Occurs in**: Fluids (liquids and gases) only. - **Cause**: Random motion of particles. - In **liquids**: particles are in contact, free to flow past each other. - In **gases**: particles are separate, move quickly in random directions at a range of speeds (causes Brownian motion). - **Example**: Dye dropped in water spreads from high to low concentration until evenly distributed. - **Speeding up diffusion**: - **Increase temperature**: particles move faster → diffusion faster. - **Stirring** (liquids) or using a **fan** (gases) also speeds up diffusion. - **Key point**: Diffusion is faster at higher temperatures because particles have more kinetic energy and move faster.

Diffusion: The movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration.
Fluid: A substance that can flow; includes liquids and gases.
Random motion: Movement of particles in unpredictable directions, caused by collisions.
Brownian motion: The random movement of particles suspended in a fluid, caused by collisions with fast-moving molecules.
Concentration: The amount of a substance in a given volume; high concentration means many particles per unit volume.

What is diffusion?

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a lower concentration.

In which states of matter does diffusion occur?

Diffusion occurs in fluids: liquids and gases.

How do particles move in a liquid?

Particles in a liquid are in contact with each other and free to flow past each other, moving with random motion.

True or false: In diffusion, particles move from a low concentration to a high concentration.

False. In diffusion, particles move from a high concentration to a lower concentration.

False. Diffusion happens in both liquids and gases (fluids).

True or false: Diffusion in a liquid can be sped up by stirring.

True. Stirring speeds up diffusion.

What happens to the average speed of particles in a liquid when temperature increases?

Liquid particles are in contact but free to flow past each other, moving randomly.

What is the final result of diffusion over time?

Particles become evenly distributed throughout the space, reaching equilibrium.

Heating increases particle kinetic energy, making them move faster and spread more quickly.

Why does stirring a liquid speed up diffusion?

Stirring moves particles around, increasing the rate of mixing and spreading.
