Is there any limit to the distance through which diffusion can occur?

Answer

Yes, there is a limit to the distance through which diffusion can occur. This is because diffusion time increases with the square of diffusion distance. Diffusion time is inversely proportional to the diffusion coefficient. hus, if the diffusion distance is small, diffusion happens faster because the particles do not have as far to travel.
