  • Effusion: Definition, Examples, and How It Works
    The correct answer is: perfume spreading in air

    Effusion is the process by which a gas escapes from a container through a tiny opening into a vacuum or space filled with a gas at lower pressure. In the example given, perfume spreading in the air is an example of effusion. The perfume molecules escape from the perfume bottle through the small opening and spread into the surrounding air, which has a lower concentration of perfume molecules. This process continues until the concentration of perfume molecules in the air is uniform.
