It doesn't. Ever since it was a child it has been a free spirit. It's parents expected it to depend on at least one of the two, but the diffusion coefficient just wanted to dance.

Is simple diffusion the net diffusion of a solvent?
no
What does solution mean in geography terms?
A solution is a mixture of one substance dissolved in another so the properties are the same throughout. A solution is composed of a solute and the solvent. The solute is the substance being dissolved and the solvent is the part of the solution that does the dissolving. The solute is of molecular size.
What happen when solvent is equal to solute?
solution is in equilibrium and the solvent and solute continue diffusion or osmosis at an equal rate.
Water dissolves a wide variety of substances. Therefore it is a?
universal solvent, meaning that it has the ability to dissolve many different types of solutes. This is due to its unique molecular structure and polarity, allowing it to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. Water's solvent properties are essential for numerous biological and chemical processes to occur in our everyday lives.
Why do you use filter paper in chromatography?
the filter paper allows the chamber to become "saturated" with the solvent.
How do you find the diffusion coefficient?
It is possible to calculate the diffusion coefficient of a liquid. You would set up a liquid-liquid diffusion coefficient sample. Use the variables W for solvent molecular weight, F for?æsolvent association factor, V for solvent viscosity, M for solvent molal volume, and T for system temperature.The equation you use is D(A,B) = [7.4T (FW) ^0.5]/ [V (M^0.6) * (10^8)].?æ
How do you describe the dissolving process as a result of random molecular motion?
Dissolving is when a substance has mixed into a solvent.
Is simple diffusion the net diffusion of a solvent?
no
Is osmosis also a type of diffusion?
NO, They are very different, just opposite of each other Osmosis is when a solvent (like water) moves through a semi-permeable membrane, from a solution of low concentration, to a solution with high concentration. Diffusion is the movement of molecules in a solvent, from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration by random molecular motion.
How is osmosis realted to diffusion?
Osmosis is related to diffusion by having something diffuse through a solvent

What is the diffusion of water?
its osmosis 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 semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.

How does water's molecular structure contribute to its status as the universal solvent?
Water is only a quasi-universal solvent. The chemical and physical properties of water are very suitable for a good solvent. Water is not totally universal. Many glues don't disolve in water, but they do in petrol (gasoline).
Compare and contrast between osmosis and facilitated diffusion?
Osmosis is when a solvent moves from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Facilitated diffusion is when a solvent moves down the concentration gradient through carrier molecules.
