Question:
how does the diffusion decreases by increase in pressure, if you increase the pressure, the particles are consisted and they tend to move into another place which might be low concentration level. so if this happens the diffusion will increase right
Answer:
It is understood in a different concept than what you have written.
It is said that as pressure increases, the rate of diffusion decreases. This is so because increasing pressure leads to the molecules coming closer together in a fixed volume and at constant temperature. Due to this the molecules can not move freely in air, and thus, the rate of diffusion decreases.
