The rate of diffusion is faster at higher temperatures because particles have more energy and move more rapidly.
Higher temperatures increase the rate of diffusion as particles possess more energy and move faster.
| Front | How does the temperature affect the rate of diffusion? |
|---|---|
| Back | The higher the temperature, the faster the rate of diffusion. This is because particles have more energy, so move around faster. |
