Molecular weight and diffusion are inversely related. The heavier the molecule, the slower the rate of diffusion.
Related Information:
This means that for heavier molecules, (i.e, higher molecular mass substances), the rate of diffusion is slower, because the available energy can't move them as quickly as the smaller molecules over the same distance.
Analogy: Imagine the difference between having to carry an empty bucket up a ladder, and then one filled with sand. With highest effort, it would take longer to carry the bucket filled with sand to the top of the ladder, than it would the empty one.

Infer the relationship between rate diffusion and molecular mass of a substance?

In general what is the relationship between reaction rate and temperature?
As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, so the rate of diffusion also increases.
Why diffusion is maximum in gases?
rate of diffusion is inversely proposnal to density, density of gas is less. so diffusion rate is high
Does hydrogen gas have a low rate of diffusion?
No, it is the lightest gas of the universe so has the highest rate of diffusion.
Rate of diffusion is dependent upon molecular?
size, temperature, and concentration gradient. Smaller molecules diffuse faster than larger molecules, as they can more easily navigate through the spaces between other molecules. Higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, leading to faster diffusion. A steeper concentration gradient, where there is a large difference in concentration between two areas, also promotes faster diffusion.

What is the relationship between surface area to volume ratio and the rate of diffusion?
The higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion
Relationship between gas's molecular weight and speed of effusion?
Higher is the molecular mass lower is the rate of effusion, when mass increases by 4 times rate decreases to one half (Graham's law of diffusion).
What is the effect of the density of liquid on the rate of diffusion?
The increase in density will decrease the rate of diffusion. There is an inverse relation between density and rate of diffusion.
What is the relationship between the temperature and diffusion rate?
As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, so the rate of diffusion also increases.
How does surface area to volume ratio of a cell affect rate of diffusion?
The surface area to volume ratio of a cell affects the rate of diffusion in that the higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion. This is a directly proportional relationship.
What controls the rate of diffusion?
The rate of diffusion is directly related to the concentration of gradient. For example, the greater the amount between the concentration of the areas, the greater the greater to difference in diffusion.
What is the relationship between wacc and discount rate of return?
relationship between WACC and required rate of return.
Relationship between stroke volume and pump rate?

What factors most affect the rate of diffusion in a liquid or agas?
Two factors which determine the rate of diffusion of a liquid in another liquid include temperature and particle size. The higher the temperature, the faster diffusion takes place, and the smaller the particle, the faster diffusion takes place.
What is the definition of Graham's law of diffusion?
This law relates the rate at which a gas diffuses or effuses to the type of molecule in the gas. This rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of it's molecular mass.
In general what is the relationship between reaction rate and temperature?
As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, so the rate of diffusion also increases.
