Uranium-238 decays to Lead-206. Both Rock X and Rock Y initially had a ratio of 100% Uranium-238 to 0% Lead-206. Today, Rock X has a ratio of 50% Uranium-238 to 50% Lead-206. Rock Y has a ratio of 25% Uranium-238 to 75% Lead-206. Which rock is older?

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.

plasma is the state of matter where the substance is ionized and has no definite shape or volume. the fact of being ionized makes the substance a good electrical conductor.
