1. What is diffusion? Which diffuse most, a solid or a gas? Why?
Answers
Answer:
diffusion is a net movement of anything from a region higher concentration to a region of lower concentration
gas diffuses fastly
- because there is large space between the particles of gas
- gas particles moves speedily
Hlw dude !!
What is diffusion? Which diffuse most, a solid or a gas? Why?
Diffusion is defined as the movement of atoms, ions, and molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, or ‘down their concentration gradient’. The word ‘diffusion’ is derived from the Latin word, ‘diffundere’, meaning ‘to spread out’.It is a fast and spontaneous process . When occurring across a biological membrane, it is a type of passive transport . Requires no energy expenditure
☆ The spreading of the odor of a scent or a perfume from the region applied to a nearby region .
☆ Dissolving ice, sugar, salt crystals in water to form a uniform solution.
GASES DIFFUSES MORE THAN SOLIDS.
Reason :
The movement of molecules in solids is very small, relatively large in liquids and very large in gases. And this movement of molecules has to lead to a phenomenon called as diffusion. It happens faster if the temperature is increased.
Hope this answer can helps u dear !!
