How does pressure affect the diffusion process?

47. How does pressure affect the diffusion process?

1. Reduces the process
2. Increases the process
3. Shows no reaction
4. None of the above

Answer

The correct answer is: B) Increases the process

Explanation

Pressure accelerates diffusion. This is because the pressure increases the density of the diffusing particles, which increases the frequency of collisions, which in turn speeds their diffusion.
