What distinguishes effusion from diffision? How are these processes similar?

In effusion, a substance escapes through a tiny pinhole, or other hole whereas diffusion is the spreading out of a substance within a dispersing medium.

Effusion and diffusion are similar in terms of rates and speeds.

Explanation:

According to effusion, if there is a small hole in a container, a gas will leak from it. So, in this process a substance escapes through a tiny pinhole, or other hole.

According to diffusion, the two solutions will reach the lowest possible concentration of both, if they are combined and not mixed. So, diffusion is the spreading out of a substance within a dispersing medium.

Effusion and diffusion are similar in terms of rates and speeds.
