What environmental factors affect kinetic energy and diffusion?

2 Answers

1) Temperature (High temperature increase the kinetic energy of a substance, speeding diffusion rates)

2) Particle size (Larger particles require more kinetic energy to move, causing lower rates of diffusion)

3) Concentration

Hope this helps!

The environmental factors that affect kinetic energy and diffusion are the surrounding temperature, the size of the solute inside a solution, the concentration of the solution.
