Diffusion =
the
spreading out of the particles of a
gas ,
or of
any other in
a solution ( a solute)
The net movement is from an area of
high concentration to
an area of low concentration of the particles .
Rates of
diffusion
If big
there is a difference in concentration between two areas , diffusion
will take place quickly Although many particles will move randomly
.
in the other direction ( not
by force) However there is only a small ,
difference in concentration between two areas , the net movement
by
diffusion will be quite slow .
Net movement -
-
particles moving in -
particles moving out
Temperature also affects In the the difference in concentration , the faster the
general , greater
the rate of diffusion An . rate of diffusion . The difference between two areas of concentration
increase in temp . means is called the concentration
gradient .
The bigger the difference ,
the steeper

gas or the concentration
gradient and the faster the rate of diffusion .
