All of the following affect the rate of diffusion of a substance except
A) the temperature of the solution.
B) the concentration gradient of the diffusing particles.
C) the density of the solution.
D) the presence of other solutes in the solution.
E) the size of the diffusing particles.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of other solutes in the solution does not directly affect the rate of diffusion of a specific substance. The rate of diffusion is primarily influenced by factors such as temperature, concentration gradient, density of the solution, and the size of the diffusing particles, which directly impact the kinetic energy, difference in concentration, resistance to movement, and the ability to move through a medium, respectively.
