Factors Affecting the Diffusion Rate: Diffusion Rate

This image shows the diffusion of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration over time. The time it takes the molecules to be evenly distributed is the diffusion rate. To learn more about this, see the Factors Affecting the Diffusion Rate interactive scrollable.
