Answer 1

The aroma of cookies baking in the kitchen reaching the living room is an example of diffusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution of the aroma of cookies baking in the kitchen throughout the house is an example of diffusion. Diffusion is the net movement of particles from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration. In this case, the particles of the aroma move from the kitchen, where their concentration is higher, to the living room, where their concentration is lower.
