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.

because solids and liquids are closer together where as gases are very far away from one another

Yes, for example, concentrated blood would diffuse in water and eventually the water would turn light red in the beaker.

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 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.


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

Smaller one.


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 is the visosity of gases?

We will not use the term viscosity for gases instead we use the term diffusion rate through a small orifice, which is inversely related to squire root of molecular mass and directly related to squire root of absolute temperature. Or it is related to RMS velocity of gas molecules. For example if you fill one balloon with hydrogen gas and another with air, we can see that the size of hydrogen balloon reduces more if you observe the size after 6 to 8 hours. It is due to the fact that hydrogen diffuse faster through smaller pores of the balloon.


What is an example of molecules that diffuses into a cell?

water


What is the opposite of inert gas?

The dictionary definition opposite of "inert" is "reactive". Well, "reactive" would be the best one. ^___^"


Why does one liquid diffuse into water than another?

because some liquids are denser than others which means it takes more to dissolve them.
