Would nitrogen gas be a mineral if it has a chemical formula of n2?

Nitrogen gas be a mineral only, if it is in organic forms.

Explanation:

Most of the forms of organic nitrogen is not be taken by plants, with the exception in the form of small organic molecules. Also plants can promptly take the nitrogen  when it is in other forms like ammonia and nitrate.

The microorganisms  in the soil converts the organic forms of nitrogen to mineral form when they decompose organic matters and  also fresh plant residues. This type of process is called mineralisation.

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.
