Rate Diffusion Temperature Increase Higher Particles Avg Describe

Higher temperatures increase the rate of diffusion due to increased average kinetic energy and speed of particles.

The rate of diffusion increases with increasing temperature because particles have greater average kinetic energy and move faster.

Front Describe and explain the results you would expect to see in an investigation into how the rate of diffusion is affected by temperature.
Back Effect of temperature on rate of diffusion:
  • Rate of diffusion will increase as you increase temperature
  • Because at higher temp particles have greater avg kinetic energy which means higher avg speed of particles - they diffuse faster
