What is the relationship of the partial pressure of a gas and its diffusion rate?

The higher the pressure, the more easily a chemical diffuses. And seeing as pressure and temperature are directly related, the higher the temperature the more easily a chemical diffuses, and vice versa. This is caused by everything "wanting" to be equal, if there is a higher pressure, then it will diffuse to an area of lower pressure.

How does the bulk flow of filtrate into the capsule differ from diffusion?
The bulk flow of filtrate is a type of diffusion. Diffusion is a broad category of distribution of a substance within another substance. Diffusion can be specific or general in location and rate of flow.
What scientific conclusion did thomas graham make?
The law of diffusion. It states that " at constant temperature, the rate of diffusion of any gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density".
What does rate pressure product indicate physiologically?
Rate pressure product indicates the amount of stress being placed on the heart muscle. The measure is taken by multiplying the heart rate with the systolic blood pressure.
In the diffusion of liquids through agar what characteristic of liquid determines the rate at which it will travel through the agar?
The size of the molecules.
Relationship between flow time and viscosity?
The higher the viscosity, the lower the flow rate.
As partial pressure increases what happens to the rate of diffusion?
Rate of diffusion will increase.
What is the relationship between surface area to volume ratio and the rate of diffusion?
The higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion
Where within the body does pressure affect diffusion of a substance?
Pressure increases the rate of diffusion. As the pressure on the membrane increase, attempts to enter the lower concentration increase, speeding the diffusion rate.
How does surface area to volume ratio of a cell affect rate of diffusion?
The surface area to volume ratio of a cell affects the rate of diffusion in that the higher the ratio, the faster the rate of diffusion. This is a directly proportional relationship.
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.
How does pressure affect the rate of diffussion?
Higher pressures cause more molecular collisions which in turn causes a greater rate of diffusion. The opposite is also true - lower pressures cause a decreased rate of diffusion.
Is Oxygen diffusion rate affected by the pressure gradient of carbon dioxide?
No According to my utas quiz :)
What is the relationship between the temperature and diffusion rate?
As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, so the rate of diffusion also increases.
What happens to rate of diffusion on heating?
On heating the rate of Diffusion increases..
What is the effect of the density of liquid on the rate of diffusion?
The increase in density will decrease the rate of diffusion. There is an inverse relation between density and rate of diffusion.
What does NOT influence the rate of diffusion of a chemical across a plasma membrane?
Besides the concentration of the chemical, the pore size of the plasma membrane, and the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm - nothing else influences the rate of diffusion of a chemical across a plasma membrane.
State the Graham's law?
graham's law of diffusion states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density provided the temperature and pressure remain constant
