Gases are mostly empty space. The molecules are moving so fast the collide and bounce off each other creating an empty space around themselves. The other gas can just begin slipping thru that empty space while having some collisions.

How do you get gas out of carpets?

Gases will naturally diffuse away, however more will diffuse back. Compression will decrease the amount of gas trapped at any one time.


Which gas would diffuse most rapidly under the same conditions of temperature and pressure a large or a small one?

A small gas molecule would diffuse more rapidly than a large gas molecule under the same conditions of temperature and pressure because smaller molecules have higher average speeds and can move more easily through spaces between other molecules.


Which is an example of gas effusion?

One example of gas effusion is the release of a gas through a small hole in a container, such as when air slowly escapes from a balloon. Another example would be the diffusion of gas molecules through a porous membrane, like the way oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in and out of our lungs during respiration.


What does the capillary wall do?

The capillaries are one celled blood vessels with no real walls. It is primarily used to diffuse nutrients and gas through. It is known to be the most functional unit of the blood vessels.


Which one of the gases in air would diffuse faster?

Nitrogen gas because it has the smallest molecular mass.............


What is another word for vaporization?

Mist or gas made from water. It is one of the stages water goes through- liquid, and into a gas.


Gas A is 16 times as dense as Gas B how do their rates of diffusion compare. which one diffuses faster. by how much?

Gas A would diffuse slower compared to Gas B because denser gases diffuse slower due to their heavier molecular weight. The rate of diffusion of Gas A would be 1/16th that of Gas B.


What is the primary way heat is transferred through a gas?

The primary way heat is transferred through a gas is by conduction, where kinetic energy is transferred from one particle to another through direct contact.


What is the term for heat transfer because of the movemebt of a gas?

The term for heat transfer due to the movement of a gas is convection. In this process, heat is transferred through the movement of the gas molecules from one place to another.


What does gas physical state represent?

The gas state is one of the four classical states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma). The gas hasn't a form, a hardness, has a low density and viscosity, easily diffuse, the intermolecular forces are not important, etc.


What factors affect the rate of diffustion of one gas through another?

Some factors are:- temperature- pressure- molecular size- concentration


What are 3 ways heat be conducted from 1 place to another?

Heat can be conducted through conduction, where it transfers from one material to another through direct contact. It can also be transferred through convection, where the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas) carries heat from one place to another. Lastly, heat can be transferred through radiation, which does not require a medium and can travel through vacuum.
