diffuse towards area with more water . diffusion happens where it is from higher concentration to lower concentration . so more water of course higher concentration , less water of course lower concentration . this is what i think .
but don guarantee correct answer .

Why Water has angle 104.5 but oxygen fluoride has 102.7?
in water the electrons will be towards the oxygen since it is more electronegative than hydrogen so the repulsion between bp-bp will oppose the repulsion between lp-bp but in oxygenfluoride electrons will be towards fluorine so repulsion will be less so bond angle is less than water
How does diffusion differ from osmosis?
Diffusion is simply the migration of a substance through a medium.eg. If you put a drop of Iodine in a Becker of water it will slowly diffuse through the whole solution. This is an example of the second law of thermodynamics.Osmosis requires a semi-permeable barrier that creates or allows a disparity in concentration on either side.Osmosis and Diffusion:Remember that molecules tend to move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower conventration. In osmosis, water molecules move by diffusion from an area where they are highly concentrated through tue cell membrane tp an area where they are highly concetranted through the cell membrane to an area where they are less concetrated.
How osmosis and diffusion are alike?
Answerdiffusion- movement of molecules from higher proportion to lower proportionosmosis - movement of water molecules from a more CONCENTRATED solution to less concentrated solution
What is the weight of a raisin after osmosis?
It may vary upon how much time it has been kept in water. And also type of solution in which it is kept. Since the raisin has less water and water always moves from an area of more water to area of lees water, the raisin will swell.
Is diffusion of water is called osmosis?
Yes, osmosis is defined as the net movement of water molecules from an area where they are highly concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated across a semi-permeable membrane such as a cell surface membrane.
Does water diffuse towards an area with more salt or less salt?
water follows sodium
Does water tend to diffuse from a region where it less concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
No. Water tends to diffuse from a region where it (water) is more concentrated to a region where it (water) is less concentrated. The other way of thinking about this is that water diffuses from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration.
Is it true that water tends to diffuse from a region where is is less concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
true
Does water diffuse from a region where its less concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
No, it goes from HIGH concentration, to LOW concentration
Does water tend to diffuse from a region where it is less concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
Maybe you mean osmosis?However, osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeable membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.answ2. However, in the oceans, the turbulence is very much less than that of the air. Thus whilst C14 for example diffuses reasonably rapidly in the air, and may be assumed to homogenize after a few years; in the oceans the rate of diffusion is very much slower.And the oceans are known to stratify. For example in the Fiords in New Zealand, there forms a fresh water layer on top of the sea water, and this is known to freeze in winter. The ocean water itself in the same locale never gets cold enough to freeze.
Is it true that water tends diffuse from a region where it is lees concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
It is not true. All substances tend to diffuse from an area of higher concentration to that of lower concentration. This is called passive transport(no energy required), or in the case of water, Osmosis. However, if given energy, they can also move from an area of lower concentration to that of higher concentration. This process is called active transport.
Will ethanol float or sink?
Ethanol is less dense than water so it will initially float on a water surface. Given that ethanol is totally miscible with water, an ethanol layer on top of a water layer will diffuse into the water while the water will diffuse into the ethanol until a single uniform composition solution of alcohol and water is achieved.
What is the transport mechanism where a passive process pulls water from an area where there is more water to an area where there is less water?
osmosis
Why is osmosis dependent on the concentration of solute particles in a solution?
Osmosis really works the same as diffusion, we just have a different way of describing it. Think of it this way: in diffusion, you look at the solute and say, "This area has a high concentration of something, so the particles will move towards an area with lower concentration." Water is doing the exact same thing in osmosis--it's moving from an area where there is more water (i.e., less solutes) to an area with less water (i.e., more solutes).
Why do clouds stay more or less intact and not diffuse into a haze?
Clouds stay more or less intact due to the natural force of water cohesion. As long as the air is saturated, the molecules forming the cloud will not disperse.
What happens to humidity when more water evaporates?
For water, higher humidity decreases evaporation because more water is present in the atmosphere. Less water will diffuse into the atmosphere. If it's at 100% humidity, there's no net evaporation.
When agricultural land is converted to suburban development the streams in the area will carry more or less water?
carry more water when it rains and less water when it doesn't
