No, the rate of diffusion of ink in water is faster than in honey. This is because honey is a thicker liquid with higher viscosity, which hinders the movement of ink molecules compared to water. As a result, ink will diffuse slower in honey than in water.
Factors that affect facilitated diffusion include the concentration gradient of the molecules being transported, the number of transport proteins available, and the specificity of the transport proteins for the molecules they are carrying. These factors affect facilitated diffusion because they determine the rate and efficiency at which molecules can move across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins.
According to Graham's Law, diffusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of that gas. Put another way, the heavier the gas, the slower it will diffuse. CO is 28; SO2 is 64; NO2 is 46; O3 is 48. So the slowest to diffuse would be SO2.
As you heat the water the partials expand making it easier to diffuse.
