    The document discusses factors that affect the rate of diffusion, including concentration gradient, temperature, and surface area. A higher concentration gradient or temperature leads to quicker diffusion as particles have more energy to move and mix. A larger surface area also increases the rate of diffusion by providing more space for particles to spread across.

    Factors affecting the rate of diffusion

    If a crystal of a colored chemical, potassium manganate(VII), is placed in water, the particles spread
    out and mix with the water particles.

    • The potassium manganate(VII) is the solute.

    • The water is the solvent.

    • The potassium manganate(VII) has dissolved.

    • The mixture that results is the solution.

    The rate of diffusion


    The rate of diffusion can be affected by a number of factors:

    Factor Reason
    The greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the
    The concentration gradient
    rate of diffusion.
    The higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the
    The temperature
    particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly.
    The surface area of the cell membrane
    The greater the surface area, the faster the rate of diffusion.
