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 condition does diffusion eventually lead in the absence of the other influences?

Diffusion will eventually result in equilibrium, where there is an equal distribution of particles or molecules throughout the space available. This occurs because diffusion naturally moves substances from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration until the concentration is the same everywhere.


What state does diffusion eventually lead to?

Diffusion leads to the state of equilibrium, where there is an equal distribution of molecules or particles throughout a system. At equilibrium, there is no net movement of particles from one area to another because the concentration gradient has been equalized.


Does diffusion cause a concentration gradient?

Diffusion is the result of a concentration gradient. When there is a higher concentration of a substance on one side of a barrier than on the other side, the molecules move across the barrier to try and establish equilibrium. This process is diffusion. Diffusion of water is specifically called osmosis. While diffusion occurs in living things, equilibrium is never reached. In an organism, equilibrium is the result of death.


Diffusion stops when molecules reach the?

When molecules reach equilibrium, diffusion stops. This occurs when there is an equal concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane and no net movement.


What is the continuous movement of particles but no overall change in concentration?

This is known as diffusion. Diffusion is the process by which particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, leading to a uniform distribution of particles.

equilibrium QUEENSCENE: yes, equilibrium because the concentration of molecules will be the same throughout the space the molecules occupy.

What is the eventual result of diffusion describe concentration prior to and at this point?

The eventual result of diffusion is equilibrium. The concentrations prior to this point would be uneven. The solutes then diffuse from areas of high solute concentration to areas of low solute concentration. After diffusion, at equilibrium, the concentration will be even in different areas.

Why diffusion eventually results equilibrium?

During diffusion, particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration of particles. This diffusion occurs until equilibrium is reached, which is when both areas are balanced out so that they both have the same concentration of particles as each other.

How is equilibrium related to diffusion and osmosis?

Equilibrium in diffusion and osmosis is reached when there is a balanced distribution of particles or solutes across a membrane, resulting in no net movement of particles. In diffusion, equilibrium is reached when there is an equal concentration of particles on both sides of the membrane. In osmosis, equilibrium is reached when the water concentration is the same on both sides of the membrane.


Does diffusion ever stop?

Diffusion will continue as long as there is a concentration gradient present. Once equilibrium is reached and the concentrations are equal throughout, diffusion will stop.


When does diffusion end?

When an equilibrium has been met.


Is equilibrium part of osmosis or diffusion?

yes


When does diffusion and thus osmosis stops?

When the system is at balance or at equalibrium, diffusion stops..
