The larger the particle is, the lower it sinks in. The sediments that were once carried down the stream arrange from largest to smallest. The smaller particle settle more slowly, due to gravity.

its not the size that effects the precipitation its the surface area. the more surface area showing thequicker it will precipitate. or react in anyway for that matter

What influences the rate of diffusion?

The rate of diffusion increases with temperature. The rate of diffusion also increases with the concentration gradient and the surface area.


What factors most affect the rate of diffusion in a liquid or agas?

Two factors which determine the rate of diffusion of a liquid in another liquid include temperature and particle size. The higher the temperature, the faster diffusion takes place, and the smaller the particle, the faster diffusion takes place.


What factor affects the rate of diffusion?

Diffusion refers to the process where substances from a highly concentrated area move to a place with a lower concentration. The three factors that affect the rate of diffusion are temperature, concentration gradient and the molecular weight of the substances.


The rate of diffusion depends on?

Concentration of molecules, size of particles and temperature


What factors affecting the diffusion?

There several physical factors that affect the rate at which particles diffuse. These include: the size of the particle, the temperature, the concentration difference, the diffusion distance, the surface area, and permeability.


What is Dissolving the particles size?

How do the following factors affect the rate of dissolving for temperature change


How does the molecular rate affect rate of diffusion?

First, we must understand what diffusion is! Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a lower concentration, in order to reach equilibrium. Cells in particular need this to maintain homeostasis, or an internal equilibrium (stability). Do you mean molecular size or composition, perhaps? Bigger particles are harder to move than smaller molecules. Additionally, physical constitution of a particle will affect the rate of diffusion. Think of a mouse squeezing under a door as compared to a rock, of the same size. A mouse will more easily be able to squeeze through the gap Edit The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to square root of its inverse of its molecular weight


What is diffusion rate proportional to?

rate of diffusion depends on the concentration gradient, surface area, distance over which diffusion takes place, size and nature of the diffusing molecule.


What are factors on which rate of diffusion depends?

Diffusion depends on where the higher and lower concentrations of solutes are (molecules move from high to low concentration), what kind of membrane (if any) the molecules are moving through, and in many cases how large and charged the molecules are.

Does the size of the particles of solute affect the solubility of the substance?

The size of the particles of solute do not affect the solubility of a substance, which is determined by its chemical composition, but it does affect how quickly it dissolves. The smaller the particles of the solute, the faster it will dissolve.


What is the effect of size of uptake on diffusion in agar?

larger the size, the smaller the surface area to volume ratio, hence the slower the rate of diffusion into the agar jelly :)
