Which of the following does not affect the rate of diffusion of a substance?
A) Temperature of the solution
B) Concentration gradient
C) Distance traveled
D) Presence of other substances in the solution
E) Molecular diameter of the diffusing material

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of other substances in the solution may affect the rate of diffusion by altering the concentration gradient or by interacting with the diffusing molecules. However, the other factors listed (temperature, concentration gradient, distance traveled, molecular diameter) all have a direct impact on the rate of diffusion.
