Surface Rate Area Diffusion Increase Describe Explain Results

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:
  • Rate of diffusion will increase as you increase surface area
  • This is because there would be a greater surface for particles to collide with and enter/exit



(per unit area it is the same rate)
