During the Investigation "Ready, Set, Collide" on p.13, why did the particles diffuse quicker in hot water.
The particles in the hot water diffused quicker because the water molecules were moving faster, colliding, and moving further apart.
The particles in the hot water diffused slower because the water molecules were moving slower and not colliding as much.
