Mastering Molecular Diffusion

Molecular diffusion is the thermal motion of all (liquid or gas) particles at temperatures above absolute zero.

The rate of molecular diffusion is affected by temperature, viscosity of the fluid, and the size (mass) of the particles.

Diffusion explains the net flux of molecules from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration.
