The food coloring mixes through the hot water faster than it mixes with the cold water. This is because
in hot water, the water molecules have more energy and are moving faster than the molecules of cold
water. This makes it easier for the dye to get mixed throughout the hot water. Because diffusion
happens from high concentration to low concentration, the more molecules are moving, the more
opportunities they have to mix together.

Diffusion is the random movement of molecules from a higher concentration area to a lower
concentration area. In my observation, the food coloring in the hot water is spreading out faster than
the food coloring in the cold water. Higher temperature enhance the energy of the molecules, which
causes them to travel faster, increasing the rate of diffusion. Lower temperature reduce the energy of
the molecules slowing the diffusion rate.
