No molecular motion only ceases when the temperature is at absolute zero. The molecules have retained their kinetic energy although they are at equillibrium.

How does an object in motion tend to remain in motion?

This is an interesting point of Newtonian physics, because it requires you to look at the world a different way. Our normal experience is that when something is in motion, it only moves for a certain period of time, then it slows down and stops. No matter what it may be, whether a spinning top, a thrown ball, a falling rock, whatever, everything comes to a stop, sooner or later. Newton's insight is that motion does not just evaporate, it doesn't disappear of its own accord, motion stops because something stops it. Things stop moving because there is some kind of friction or other force which opposes that motion. Whereas, when an object is moving in an environment in which there is no force opposing that motion, it will just keep moving. Inertia is that property which allows motion to continue. Inertia does not just dissipate, it remains, until some other force counteracts it. That is why we say that an object in motion will tend to remain in motion. It does have that tendency, even though in our normal experience, other factors are going to overcome that tendency.


Does diffusion ever stop?

Yes. When dynamic equilibrium is reached.

What is significant about the temperature absolute zero?

The most significant thing about the temperature of absolute zero is that is marks the point where molecular motion stops. It is equal to −459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.


On what scale does all molecular motion stop at -459?

The the Fahrenheit value for "absolute zero".


Molecular motion stop at 0 degrees?

Yes - if one is using the Kelvin temperature scale. Molecular motion is predicted to stop at "absolute zero" a temperature so low it cannot be achieved by scientists. 0º Kelvin = −273.15 ° Celsius = -459.67 Fahrenheit


What temperature centigrade does all molecular motion stop?

-273 degrees centrigrade, or 0 degrees Kelvin.


What is it called when molecular motion stops?

Absolute zero is the theoretical temperature at which all atomic motion stops. However, this temperature is unattainable, because it represents a complete lack of energy within particles of matter. Even in deep space, this temperature cannot be reached so, like the speed of light, it is a scientific limit which can only be approached. On the Kelvin scale it's 0, on the Celsius scale it's -273.16.


When will water stop moving across the membrain'?

Water stops moving when the potential difference or the diffusion pressure becomes zero on both sides of the membrane.


When do molecules stop moving during diffusion?

No as long as the temperature is above absolute zero they do not stop. It simply means it reached equilibrium but the molecules are stillin motion.
