Diffusion of solid in liquid?

ಠ_ಠ Really? It's called DISSOLVING.


Sugar dissolving in water is an example of what process?

The formation of a solution, in which sugar is the solute, and water is the solvent.


How are diffusion and facilitated diffusion similar?

Substances enter a cell through the cell membrane


What is an acrostic for the word diffusion?

Diffusion I F From high to low concentration U S Important O No energy required


In what ways are active transport and facilitated diffusion similar?

Active transport and facilitated diffusion are similar in that they both involve the movement of molecules across a cell membrane, but they differ in that active transport requires energy input from the cell, while facilitated diffusion does not.


Are Contagious diffusion relocation diffusion expansion diffusion stimulus diffusion hierarchical diffusion similar?

They are all similar in the sense that they all relate to the spread of cultural traits like ideas, clothing, food, and language, but they all differ in respect to how the diffusion comes about. To pull from my notes, relocation diffusion is diffusion that occurs when people from any given culture migrate to a place with a different culture. Contagious diffusion is diffusion that occurs when something spreads to other places around it and affects almost everyone in its reach. Hierarchical diffusion is diffusion that occurs when people from a high class or social status begin a trend that spreads to the lower classes. Stimulus diffusion is diffusion that spreads to other cultures and adapts the diffused traits to better fit with the new culture (it is only the basic idea that spreads). If you need examples, let me know. So, TL;DR: Yes, they are similar, but they have distinct differences.


If a sugar cube is dropped into a cup of hot water and without being stirred all of the liquid becomes sweet tasting. Is this an example of diffusion?

No, this is an example of dissolution rather than diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration, while dissolution is the process of a solid dissolving into a liquid to form a solution.


Why the rates of diffusion of nitrogen gas and carbon monoxide are almost identical at the same temperature?

The rates of diffusion of nitrogen gas and carbon monoxide are almost identical at the same temperature because they have similar molecular weights and sizes. Both gases have small molecules and similar diffusion coefficients, allowing them to spread and mix in a similar manner through a medium.


What do you call the process when particles in a gas spread out and mix with other particles?

Diffusion. It also occurs in liquids, by the way.


What is the difference between diffusion and dissolve?

Diffusion is the spread of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion can occur in gas or liquid.Dissolving occurs when one substance, the solvent, supports the particles of another substance, the solute, to form a solution. The two processes are similar.Example:Sugar in the bottom of a cup of coffee will slowly diffuse into the bottom of the cup dissolving as it goes. When we stir the coffee we make the process faster and the dissolving is uniform without a higher concentration at the bottom of the cup.Perfume or petrol (gasoline) in a container in the corner of the room will slowly diffuse out and we can smell it even when we are not next to the container. Again the concentration is higher the closer we are to the container.


How is faciliated transport similar to simple diffusion?

Facilitated and simple diffusion both transport solutes along a concentration gradient and neither processes require any ATP expenditure.


Which pair of gas has same rate of diffusion at STP?

Hydrogen and helium have the same rate of diffusion at standard temperature and pressure (STP) due to their similar molecular weights and sizes.
