Description: Gas diffusion is the process by which gas molecules disperse from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This phenomenon occurs due to the random movement of molecules, which tend to occupy all available space. Diffusion is a passive process that does not require external energy, as molecules move driven by their kinetic energy. The rate of diffusion depends on several factors, including temperature, pressure, and the properties of the gases involved. At higher temperatures, molecules move more rapidly, accelerating the diffusion process. This phenomenon is fundamental in various fields of science and engineering, as it influences gas mixing, heat transfer, and chemical reactions. Gas diffusion is a key concept in thermodynamics and gas physics, and it can be observed in everyday situations, such as when one smells the aroma of food in the air or when different gases mix in a closed container.
