What else can I help you with?
Why is diffusion faster in air?
Diffusion of particles is slowed by collisions with other particles in the surrounding area. In a vacuum there are no particles for the diffusing cloud to collide with, thus the rate of diffusion will not slow.
Do hydrogen and oxygen diffuse?
Yes, both hydrogen and oxygen are gases at room temperature and pressure, so they can diffuse easily in air. Diffusion is the process by which gases mix due to the random motion of their particles.
What is the layer of the leaf that contains the large air space?
the spongy layer has alot of air spaces so gases can diffuse in and out of the leaf easily
Which would diffuse faster concentrated ammonia or diluted ammonia?
Diluted ammonia would diffuse faster than concentrated ammonia because the particles are spread out more in the diluted solution, allowing for more collisions with the surrounding air molecules. This results in a quicker dispersion of ammonia molecules into the surrounding space compared to the more concentrated solution.
Why do certain smells spread through the air faster than others?
Well, it depends on the heat of the air and how much air there is. Smells spread though the air during the process of diffusion, which happens faster if the air is hotter(the particles of the air will move faster if hotter and therefore the substance will diffuse quicker). Also they will spread faster if there is more air, which means more particles being able to diffuse the substance. I hope that this helps. As you can see, I an an a* student in chemistry! Please feel free to correct and extend if needed.
Which would diffuse faster Helium or oxygen?
Diffusion would happen quicker in gas because the particles in gas move at a higher rate than in liquid. Particles in liquid are also more uniform than that of gas deeming it to take a longer time to dissolve.
If the gases weren't in the air would we die?
Yes. The gases ARE the air.
Does helium come out of a balloon faster than air?
Yes. The reasons are helium is monoatomicand light and therefore at a particular temperature the helium atoms move faster and can diffuse out quicker than the larger molecules N2, O2 in an air filled balloon. (This is Grahams Law of gaseous effusion in practise)Gases are diffusing through theballoon membrane in both directions- the pressure difference is not really that great after all you can inflate a balloon using only lung power.Fill a balloon with a gas such as SF6 then it will inflateas the lighter faster moving air diffuse in at a higher rate than SF6 diffuses out
What is the exchange of gases between the blood and air?
Diffusion. In the lungs, oxygen will diffuse into de-oxygenated blood (oxygen was removed from the blood in the body) and carbon dioxide will diffuse out of the blood into the lungs and expelled from your body when you breathe out.
How does a nasty smell travel acroos a room?
the rate at which a smell diffuses across a room depends on the mass of the particles and the density of the substance. If a substance has a low density it will diffuse faster and also if it has a low mass it will diffuse faster.
Why hydrogen gas will diffuse fastest?
Hydrogen gas is the lightest element, which means it has the smallest molecular size and mass. This leads to it having higher average velocity at a given temperature compared to other gases, allowing it to diffuse more rapidly. Additionally, hydrogen gas molecules have weaker intermolecular forces, which further promotes faster diffusion.
Is diffuses faster air or oxygen gas?
Oxygen gas diffuses faster than air because air is a mixture of gases that includes nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases, which can affect the overall diffusion rate. Oxygen, being a pure gas, has a higher diffusion rate compared to air.
