Does research on particles such as quarks, likely to have an important effect on the principles of chemistry?

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.

the answer is d.) potassium

they are called fossil fuels
