Which of the following statements is correct?The longer the diffusion distance, the faster the rate of diffusion.The smaller the surface area, the faster the rate of diffusion.The bigger the concentration gradient (the difference in concentration of the particles), the slower the rate of diffusion.The higher the temperature, the faster the rate of diffusion.

When comparing the diffusion rate of a solute at differing concentrations within a liquid, _____.Group of answer choicesthe diffusion rate for the solute is the same for all concentrationsthe diffusion rate will increase with a higher solute concentrationthe diffusion rate will decrease with a higher solute concentrationthe diffusion rate will increase with a lower solute concentration
