The rate of diffusion increases proportionally with surface area, as a larger surface provides more opportunity for particle exchange.
The rate of diffusion increases with increasing surface area because there is a larger area for particle collision and exchange.
| Front | Describe and explain the results you would expect to see in an investigation into how the rate of diffusion is affected by surface area. |
|---|---|
| Back | Effect of surface area on rate of diffusion:
(per unit area it is the same rate) |
