Explanation:

The statements which are true are as follows.

  • A solid can diffuse into both a liquid and another solid.
  • A liquid can diffuse into another liquid.
  • A gas can diffuse into another gas.

When we heat a solid it starts to melt as a result it diffuses into liquid. Whereas when we write with a chalk on a blackboard then the solid particles of chalk disperse on the solid surface of blackboard.

Therefore, a solid can diffuse into solid as well but the rate of diffusion is slow.

When we mix two liquids they tend to mix with each other. As a result, they diffuse into each other.

Similarly, a gas can diffuse into another gas as there is weak force of attraction between gas molecules and high kinetic energy. As a result, rate of diffusion is fast in gases.

Answer:

A solid can diffuse into both a liquid and another solid.

A liquid can diffuse into another liquid.

A gas can diffuse into another gas.
