Give one example of diffusion of gases in a liquid?
Answers
Explanation:
In gases, molecules are far apart from each other as they are held by weak Vander waal forces. As a result, they are able to diffuse at a faster rate as compared to liquids and solids.
For example, when carbon dioxide diffuses into carbonated drinks then it shows diffusion of a gas into a liquid.
As in liquids, molecules are held close due to slight more strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to gases. Hence, they take a little tie to diffuse as compared to gases.
In solids, molecules are held tightly together due to strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, they take much more time to diffuse as compared to gases.
Answer:
Diffusion is the spreading of something more widely. This can apply to molecules, atoms, ions, particles, information or cultural elements. Sometimes diffusion happens on its own and sometimes there is something that causes it, like heat or agitation.
Common Examples of Diffusion:
- A teabag placed in a cup of hot water will diffuse into the water.
- Placing food coloring in a liquid will diffuse the color.
