Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to one of low concentration. As NO2 is heavier than air, diffusion takes place and hence after some time the brown colour is seen in jar containing air. Geethanjali Somisetty

What happens when potassium is allowed to burn in bromine vapour?

When potassium is allowed to burn in bromine vapor, a vigorous reaction occurs, resulting in the formation of potassium bromide. The reaction produces a bright light and heat. Potassium bromide is a stable, white crystalline compound.


A gas jar containing air is placed upside down on a gas jar of bromine vapour.It is observed that after some time the gas jar containin air also becomes reddish brown. Name the process involved?

The process involved is diffusion. Diffusion is the passive movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In this case, the bromine vapour diffuses into the gas jar containing air, resulting in the air also turning reddish brown due to the presence of bromine.

Why bromine vapour spread upwards?

Bromine vapor spreads upwards because it is more dense than air. This means that bromine vapor will rise due to its buoyancy and mix with the air above it. Additionally, the movement of air currents and the diffusion of bromine molecules contribute to its upward spread.
