Why diffusion occurs more quickly in a gas than in a liquid?
Diffusion in gases is faster than in liquids because the particles in gas move way faster than in liquids. The gas particles therefore spread out more quickly and diffusion is completed faster.
What is a good model of diffusion?
An air freshener is a good model of diffusion because the scent particles are highly concentrated in the bottle. When the bottle is opened, they spread out in the room which has less concentration.
What is the process in which particles of substances separate and spread evenly throughout a mixture?
A solution. A "solution" is not a process. The process of particles spreading evenly through a mixture is called dispersion or diffusion.
By what process does perfume spread around a room?
the particles in the perfume grabs one of the molecules as you spray and they keep jumping on each molecule so afters the whole room would smell of it. ----------- Gas diffusion
How do particles move?
Some materials move by diffusion. Diffusion is the process in which molecules spread out, or move from areas where there are many molecules, to areas where there are fewer of them. == It depends on the particles. Brownian motion is what causes very small particles to move in a fluid. On a smaller scale, osmotic pressure, ionic gradient and some others.
How are smells spread through the air?
smells spread due to diffusion , wich is the movement of smoke and ohter air particles from a region of high concentration to a region lower concentration
What happens in diffusion?
The particles spread into the area provided
How does smell of agarbatti spread?
While I have no idea what "agarbatti" means, I don't think it's relevant: smells in general spread by diffusion.
What happens when particles diffuse?
They spread out and equalize to the source of the diffusion.
What is the proper scientific name for the way particles spread out?
The proper scientific term for the way particles spread out is called diffusion. This is the process where particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until they are evenly distributed.
Name for the particles in a gas spreading out?
When the molecules of a gas spread throughout another medium, the process is called diffusion. The rate of diffusion can be influenced by temperature and pressure.
Do smells travel through the air by?
through your nose your snotty smelly nose x
When particles separate and spread evenly throughout a mixture it is called?
Diffusion.
How does faciliated diffusion differ from simple diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion needs some sort of help. Often it would be a protein. Simple diffusion doesn't. If you spill something smelly on the floor in the kitchen, you will smell it all through the house. It will spread by simple diffusion.
What is the tendency of gases to spread themselves out thinly?
The tendency of gases to spread themselves out thinly is called diffusion. Diffusion is thus a process in which the particles travel from a high concentration area to an area of low concentration.
What smells spread through the air?
Smells spread through the air by way of diffusion. Just like a colored dye in water. The smell disperses until there an even distribution of the molecule thought it's container.
Why does diffusion occur in liquids and gases?
Diffusion, the passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Particles like to move! Because they like to move, they want to spread out as much as possible. Diffusion happens because the particles want to spread into the remaining fluid, (liquid and gas) to an area of low concentration. Another way of thinking, when you spray deodorant, because of the initial pressure that pushes all of the particles out of the can, they spread out in all directions.
