The dispersal of ink in a beaker of water is an example of diffusion. The diffusion of water into or out of a cell is called osmosis.

What motion is the net movement of particles of a substance from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?

This is diffusion. No energy required, molecules do this just based on random molecular motion. Example: a drop of ink dropped into a beaker of water will "diffuse" until it is as spread out as possible.


Is diffusion an example of smelling burnt toast from another room?

Yes, diffusion is an example of how particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, which can explain how the smell of burnt toast can spread from one room to another.


What are 3 mechanisms and adaptations for seed dispersal?

Three mechanisms for seed dispersal are wind dispersal (seeds carried by wind currents), animal dispersal (seeds carried by animals), and water dispersal (seeds carried by water currents). Adaptations for seed dispersal include structures like wings or hairs on seeds that aid in wind dispersal, fruit that attracts animals to eat and disperse seeds, and buoyant seed coats that enable water dispersal.


Why does diffusion eventually result in equilibrium?

I will use the sugar cube example. Equilibrium is established as a result of diffusion. For example, consider placing a sugar cube into a beaker of water. As the sugar cube dissolves, the sugar molecules diffuse throughout the beaker When the beaker is left undisturbed, the concentration of the sugar molecules will eventually remain the same throughout the beaker. Thus, equilibrium is established due to the same concentration of the sugar molecules throughout the beaker.


What will happen to dye crystals initially in the bottom of a beaker of water over a long period of time?

The dye crystals will dissolve in the water over time, spreading evenly throughout the solution. This process is known as diffusion, where particles move from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration until reaching equilibrium.

Why we use kerosene in ultrasonic diffraction but not water?

Kerosene has a lower surface tension and viscosity compared to water, which allows for better dispersal and diffusion of the ultrasonic waves. This helps create smaller and more consistent droplets for diffusion. Water has higher surface tension and viscosity, which can inhibit the dispersal and diffusion of the ultrasonic waves.


What is an example of diffusion in water?

Diffusion of a concentrated juice in water.

Diffusion of a concentrated juice in water.


Is diffusion an example of active transport or passive transport?

Diffusion is an example of passive transport, like osmosis(the diffusion of water through a membrane).


Why was it important to keep the beaker out of sunlight in a diffusion lab?

to prevent the water molecules from changing its temperature i.e the rays of the sun would affect the time of how fast the substance (e.g manganate) diffuses in other words ths increase in the rate of diffusion. :) hope it helped (y)

Is a sugar cube dropped in hot water an example of diffusion?

Yes, a sugar cube dropped in hot water is an example of diffusion. The sugar molecules move from an area of higher concentration (the sugar cube) to an area of lower concentration (the hot water) until they are evenly distributed. This process is a type of diffusion called passive diffusion.
