Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature increases the rate of diffusion process . Due to increase in temperature , molecules start moving fast . Hence their ability to diffuse is also increased .

Hence in hot water , the colouring compound will diffuse fast and therefore , rate of colouration will be fast in hot water . In cold water , it will be slow . In ice chilled water . It will be further slowed down .
