Because gas molecules continually collide with others. The result is a random path (known mathematically as a drunkard's walk) which results in a very long time to cover a significant distance.

∙ 11y agoGas spreads around a room because ags is made of different particles which like to be very spread out. Because of this gases then diffuse (spread out). Gases can then also be compressed into samller sizes.

If it takes sulfur dioxide gas SO2 20 seconds to diffuse from a container how long will it take helium gas He to diffuse from the same container?
5 seconds
Why hydrogen gas will diffuse fastest?
This is because hydrogen is the smallest size particle out of all elements and therefore easier to diffuse in a substance eg. air.
Which gas will diffuse faster between bromine and chlorine and why?
Bromine is a liquid, so chlorine, as a gas, will diffuse faster.
What gas will diffuse faster He or Ne?
He
Which of the following diffuse faster - honey sugar nitrogen gas?
Nitrogen Gas.
If it takes helium gas (He) 5 seconds to diffuse from a container how long will it take oxygen gas (O2) to diffuse from the same container?

Can a gas diffuse to gas?
It can. If you put an open bottle of perfume on the table, you'll be able to smell it at a distance after some time, because the perfume vapors--a gas--have diffused into the air.

If it takes oxygen gas 12.5 seconds to diffuse from a container how long will it take sulfur dioxide gas to diffuse from the same container?
17.7 seconds
If it takes helium gas (He) 5 seconds to diffuse from a container, how long will it take oxygen gas (O2) to diffuse from the same container?
14.1 - 14.14 seconds
If it takes sulfur dioxide gas SO2 20 seconds to diffuse from a container how long will it take helium gas He to diffuse from the same container?
5 seconds
How do you get gas out of carpets?
Gases will naturally diffuse away, however more will diffuse back. Compression will decrease the amount of gas trapped at any one time.
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.
Does hydrogen gas rise in air?
Yes. Hydrogen is a gas, and all gases tend to diffuse. Whether or not air is present is irrelevant.
Why hydrogen gas will diffuse fastest?
This is because hydrogen is the smallest size particle out of all elements and therefore easier to diffuse in a substance eg. air.
If it takes oxygen gas O2 12.5 seconds to diffuse from a container how long will it take sulfur dioxide gas SO2 to diffuse from the same container?
17.6 - 17.7 secconds
Why does good food diffuse from a bag to your nose?
That is because our brain separate the smells.
