Why does honey diffuse in water at slower rate than ink?

Because it is more viscous.


If the concentration of glucose is higher inside the cell than the cell then outside the cell then what will happen by the process of diffusion?

Water will move out of the cell. Glucose will not move into the cell without the help of a helper molecule. Glucose molecules will diffuse into the cell.(APEX)

Glucose is a molecule that can move across the cell membrane if the concentration of glucose is high or inside the cell than outside the cell then what will happen by the process of diffusion?

glucose molecules will diffuse out of the cell. apex


What will happen if the concentration of glucose in the water outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside?

Do lighter gas particles diffuse less rapidly than heavier gas particles?

No, heavier gas particles diffuse slower than lighter gas particles


Would you expect the particles in cl2 to diffuse faster or slower than the particles in argon gas?

Cl2 has a molar mass of about 71 g/moleArgon has molar mass of about 40 g/mole Thus, Argon will diffuse faster than Cl2 gas, or put another way, Cl2 will diffuse slower than argon.

Does salt water freeze faster or slower than fresh water?

Salt water is slower.


Why do substances diffuse faster in hot than in cold temperatures?

In hot water molecule were moving around faster so substances diffuse faster than in cold water.


Which gases will have the greatest rate of effusion?

The slowest rate of effusion will be exhibited by the gas with the highest molar mass. For example, Xenon will diffuse at a slower rate than Helium, and chlorine will diffuse at a slower rate than fluorine.
