Best Answer

Concentration polarization is a condition in which the current in a electrochemical cell is limited by the rate at which reactants are brought to or removed from the surface of on or both electrodes. Kinetic is a condition which the current is limited by the rate at which electrons are transferred between the electrode surfaces and the reactant in solution. ref: fundamentals of analytical chemistry chapter 22.

Why are the five postulates of the kinetic molecular theory of gases important?

The kinetic theory of gases can define the general properties of gases at very low concentration.


Distinguish between osmosis and diffusion?

The difference between Diffusion and Osmosis is by the process of them diffusing and the outcome such as an example of a sugar cube... In Diffusion Molecules move from high concentration just Osmosis although in the diffusion process of "Diffusion" it uses Kinetic energy and Concentration Gradient while "Osmosis" does not require cells to expand energy, in result Osmosis uses Passive Transport of Water.


What type of molecule movement consist on one way diffusion across a semi permeable membrane?

The movement of molecules across the semipermeable membrane follows the law of diffusion. Thus, the molecules of a substance move from their higher concentration towards their lower concentration by their own kinetic energy.


The kinetic-molecular theory explains the behavior of?

The Kinetic Molecular theory is used to describe the behavior of gas. It gives the relationship between pressure, temperature and kinetic energy.


What is the process that allows scent to travel from one room to the next?

Diffusion is the process of spreading of the gaseous molecule according to their kinetic energy. In this process, particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. If the perfume is sprayed in one corner of a room, it will be smelt soon after in the opposite corner.

How do you define Kinetic Theory of Diffusion?

From what I know, Kinetic theory of diffusion is the movement of particles in a closed environment from a region of high concentration or pressure to a low concentration or pressure conditions. Diffusion is mainly controlled by the kinetic energy of particles which further relates to their states they are in whether gas, liquid or solid. The more spaced out they are, the more freedom they have to move around and bombard to each other and generate kinetic energy.


Which property of gases is explained by the process of diffusion?

Moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration(across a concentration gradient) to create equilibrium on both sides.


What are the Similarities of kinetic and potential energy?

Only that both are energy - which can, in many cases, be converted from one type to another.
