1. An increase in temperature generally increases the rate of diffusion. This is because higher temperatures lead to greater kinetic energy in particles, resulting in increased movement and collisions, which in turn promote faster diffusion of substances.

  2. Particles of matter accomplish diffusion by constantly moving and colliding with one another. This movement leads to the spreading out of particles from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration, resulting in the equalization of concentration over time.

  3. Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of particles, ions, or molecules from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration, driven by the random motion of particles. It leads to the uniform distribution of substances within a medium over time.

  4. Temperature directly affects the kinetic energy of particles; as temperature increases, the kinetic energy of particles also increases because higher temperatures correspond to greater average speeds of particle motion.

  5. The concept of spacing between particles helps explain the behavior of matter in mixtures and solutions by determining how readily substances can mix or dissolve. Closer spacing facilitates interactions, leading to better mixing and faster dissolution rates.
