Factors Affecting Rate of Diffusion

The rate of diffusion is affected by several factors including the concentration gradient, distance, surface area to volume ratio, temperature, and medium, with steeper gradients, shorter distances, larger surface area to volume ratios, higher temperatures, and gaseous mediums resulting in faster diffusion rates.

Factors affecting rate of diffusion

1. Concentration gradient (steeper = faster)


2. Distance (shorter = faster)
3. SA:V ratio (larger = faster)
4. Temperature (higher = faster)
5. Medium (gas> liquid> solid)
