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

Is it true that solids can often diffuse into a liquid but cannot diffuse into another solid?

Yes Diffusion is mainly gases property Diffusion is shown also by liquids but much less than the gases Liquids diffuse from solutions of higher concentration to solutions of lower concentration So the driving force for the diffusion is concentration difference. Rate of Diffusion depends on liquid`s viscosity,temperature etc. depends on what is the liquid however. (oil and water dont) examples food coloring in water. liquid chocolate in milk.


Why do gases diffuse faster than liquids?

In liquid, there is less space to move so collisions are more frequent between the molecules causing a slower diffusion rate. The opposite happens in gases. There is more space in gases. As a result, there are less collisions between the molecules causing a faster diffusion rate. Other factors that may have an affect on diffusion rates are temperature, mass of the molecule, volume/surface area, and medium used.


Does Liquid ammonia have a higher heat capacity than liquid water?

No, liquid water has a higher heat capacity than liquid ammonia. Water has a high specific heat capacity due to its hydrogen bonding, which allows it to absorb and release heat more effectively than ammonia.


Which gas will diffuse faster between bromine and chlorine and why?

Chlorine gas will diffuse faster than bromine gas because it has a lower molecular weight and therefore moves more quickly through a medium. The rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas, so lighter gases diffuse faster.


Is a ice cube more or less dense than liquid water?

Ice cubes are less dense than liquid water, which is why they float.

Would liquid bromine diffuse more or less quickly than gaseous bromine after pouring it into another liquid?

Liquid bromine would diffuse more slowly than gaseous bromine when poured into another liquid. Diffusion occurs more readily in gases and in liquids, but since bromine is more dense in its liquid state, it will diffuse at a slower rate compared to when it is in its gaseous state.


Why do food coloring move in water?

It works the same as if it was hot water. The food coloring will diffuse the solution the exact same. The only difference is that it will diffuse slower than hot water. This happens for a pretty simple reason. The water molecules of the hot water are moving around a lot faster than the cold water. If the molecules are moving faster, they will interact with the food coloring molecules quicker hence diffusing (spreading) it quicker. hope this helps.


Do all liquids diffuse the same way?

no because different molecules have different sizes. Smaller molecules will diffuse faster than larger molecules.


Why does glucose diffuse slower than water?

The glucose molecule is much larger than the water molecule.

Does a denser object sink or float?

An object that is denser than water or another liquid sinks.


Why liquid diffuse faster than solids?

Because molecules in a liquid are not bound the way they are in solids and they can move freely so diffusion happens faster too.


What other liquid can fish survive in other than salt water and fresh water?

Fish are adapted to live only in water. They may survive for a very limited time in another liquid, but they cannot live permanently in anything other than water.


Why liquids diffuse much faster than solid?

The intermolecular force of attraction between the particles of solid is greater than liquid and due to this minimum space is found between the particles of solid. That's why liquids diffuse much faster than solids.


Is the rate of diffusion of ink in water and honey same.justify?

No, the rate of diffusion of ink in water is faster than in honey. This is because honey is a thicker liquid with higher viscosity, which hinders the movement of ink molecules compared to water. As a result, ink will diffuse slower in honey than in water.


Why does honey diffuse in water at slower rate than ink?

Because it is more viscous.


What liquid is less viscous than water?

Liquid nitrogen is less viscous than water.
