उत्तर
- Solids diffuse at a very slow rate. However, if the solid's temperature is increased, the rate of diffusion of the solid particles into the air increases.
- This is due to an increase in the kinetic energy of solid particles. Hence, the smell of hot, sizzling food reaches us even at a distance, but to get the smell of cold food, we have to go close.
