The rate of diffusion is based on certain conditions, which are: STATE OF MATTER, this detemines the rate of diffusion. If the travelling molecules are in gaseous state, then the rate of diffusion is faster because gaseous molecules travel faster than every other state of matter. 2. DIFFERENCE IN CONCENTRATION. If there is so much difference in between the 2 regions of concentration, i.e the lower and the higher, the rate of diffusion is faster. 3. SIZE OF MOLECULES. The smaller the size of travelling molecules, the faster the rate of diffusion and vice-versa. 4. The fourth condition is TEMPERATURE. The higher the applied temperature, the higher the rate of diffusion and the lower it is, the lower the rate at which diffusion occurs. Good night friends.
