Answer:
Diffusion depends among many other things also upon the concentration gradient of the diffusing substance.For example if there are two boxes with given particles first isolated from each other and if they are bought in contact, then there is a net diffusion of particles from a box with higher concentration of particles to box with lower concentration. And also diffusion rate depends at any instant directly on the concentration difference between them at that instant.Now the vaccum is equivalent to an empty box which means with this one leads to a maximum diffusion rate when bought in contact with a box with particles because there is maximum concentration difference.That is vaccum is empty ( except for energy perturbations and a small concentration of particles which will be zero for our purpose) and any bunch of particles will find least resistance to diffuse as just outside this bunch there is ‘0' concentration of the particles.
