Does random movement of molecules stop once equilibrium is reached?

When equilibrium is reached, there is no net motion of molecules. This does not mean that no molecules are moving. In diffusion, this would mean there are equal molecules leaving as are entering.

∙ 14y agoIt is generally considered that the forward and reverse reactions both continue but at the same rate, so that "net reaction" stops, but not the microreactions.

When molecules are evenly spread in a area?
Equilibrium occurs at the point where molecules diffuse equally in all directions. Before this, the concentration gradient differs between parts, and the molecules diffuse mostly in one direction.
What is random collision of diffusing molecules?
The random spreading of molecules is referred to as diffusion. Diffusion occurs due to the movement of particles in gases or liquids. An example of diffusion is putting a drop of red food coloring in a glass of water and observing how the water becomes red-colored.
What is diffusibility?
DIFFUSIBILITY The quality of being diffusible; capability of being poured or spread out.
Is osmosis diffusion through water?
yes osmosis is diffusion through water diffusion is a random movement of molecules from a high area of pressure to a low area of pressure
What is the random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient called?
The random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient (meaning from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is called simple diffusion. Simple diffusion is related to the magnitude of driving force, permeability of the membrane, and surface area.
Do random movements of molecules stop once equilibrium is reached?
Yes. Equilibrium is when the movement of molecules stops and equals out.
Difference between molecular motion and diffusion?
It triggers diffusion because diffusion is the movement of molecules, therefore as soon as the molecules move diffusion begins to do it's job. It will take them from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser concentration.
How does diffusion take place?
Molecules move from an area from where there is a high concentration to an area where there is a low concentration. This occurs until equilibrium is reach. After equilibrium is reached, diffusion still occurs. (but in "equal trade") Diffusion is caused by the random movements of molecules.
Heat is the random movement of what?
Atoms or molecules.
What is the movement of molecules as they are heated unevenly called?
Random Motion
What theory is based on the random movement of molecules?
The Kinetic Theory of Matter
What is diffusion occurs because of the what movement of molecules?
No, diffusion does not occur because of random molecular movement. It is rather as a result of movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to lower concentration.
When a solution as a greater concentration particles?
Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from an area where they are at a higher concentration to areas where they are at a lower concentration. This is due to the random movement of the molecules.
The random movement of molecules in a solvent causes what in a cube of solid solute?
it solves the solid
How is temperature related to the motions of molocules?
Heat is the random movement of molecules. The faster the molecules move around, the more heat is present.
What species have no mutations large population natural selection random mating no movement?
Sounds like a species in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
What does osmosis do?
The random movement of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.
