Why does diffusion occur, even when the pressure at both regions are equal
In: 4
The answer is that all systems will change until they reach equilibrium. So if part of the system isn’t in equilibrium, it will diffuse.
If it’s too concentrated, it’ll disperse. If it’s more favourable for it to concentrate (say, solidify), it’ll diffuse to do that too.
It works for all states of matter, just the details change.
