उत्तर
The aroma of hot, sizzling food reaches us very easily even when we are far away from it, but the aroma of cold food reaches us only when we are near it because the rate of diffusion of a hot gas is faster than cold gas. When the gas is hot, the particles have greater kinetic energy and they move faster; therefore, they have a higher rate of diffusion.
