With increase in temperature, the leaching rate increases because of the _____________________?

Correct answer: C. Both A. and B.

  • A. Increased diffusivity
  • B. Decreased viscosity of liquid
  • C. Both A. and B.
  • D. Neither A. nor B.

Explanation

Higher temperature generally increases molecular diffusivity and lowers liquid viscosity, reducing resistance to solute movement during leaching. Both effects therefore increase the leaching rate.
