What factors most affect the rate of diffusion in a liquid or agas?

Two factors which determine the rate of diffusion of a liquid in another liquid include temperature and particle size. The higher the temperature, the faster diffusion takes place, and the smaller the particle, the faster diffusion takes place.


Which blood vessel does diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place?

Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place primarily in the capillaries, which are the smallest blood vessels in the body. Capillaries have thin walls that allow for the exchange of these gases between the bloodstream and the surrounding tissues.


When two gases are mixed what is it called?

When two gases are mixed together, it is referred to as a gas mixture. This is because the gases are physically combined, retaining their individual properties without a chemical reaction taking place.


What is the diffence in rate of diffusion hot and cold water?

Diffusion is a process which is affected by changes in temperature in the system where it is taking place. When the temperature is high, the rate of diffusion is high and when the temperature is low, the rate of diffusion is less.Hence, we can say that diffusion is directly proportional to temperature.Therefore, the answer to your question is that diffusion will be high in hot water and in cold water, it will be slow.


Does temperature have an effect on the rate of diffusion?

Faster diffusion will take place if the surroundings are warmer. An increase in temperature means an increase in the molecules speed and there will be more spontaneous spreading of the material which means that diffusion occurs quicker.

Why is the alveolus suitable as a place dor diffusion of gases?

The thin membranes are surrounded by blood vessels, enabling easy gas exchange.


Does Gas exchange between the air in the alveolus and the blood takes place at the pulmonary capillary?

Diffusion due to differences in air pressures.


Why does oxygen diffusion from the alveolus to the alveolar capillary occur?

Diffusion (of anything) occurs because of a concentration gradient meaning there is more oxygen in one place than another. Alveolus when you inhale will have a higher concentration of oxygen that that of the alveolar capillary resulting in a concentration gradient, this causing diffusion to occur until equilibrium is met. This means more oxygen in alveolus so oxygen travels into the alveolar capillary until a balanced amount of oxygen is in both places, but then of course the oxygen is transported and you exhale and inhale so the process repeats.

What is the difference between alveolus of the lung and the bronchus of the lung?

The bronchus of a lung is the tubes leading up to the alveolus of the lung. The alveolus of a lung is the small air sacs at the end of the bronchi (bronchus). The alveoli is where the gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.


Where does gas exchange occur in the lungs?

gaseous exchange in the lungs takes place in the walls of the alveoli which are provided with a rich supply of blood vessels .the partial pressures of the gases .i.e. CO2 and oxygen in the atmosphere and the blood vessel is naturally perfect for the diffusion of gases.


Diffusion can take place if the two substances are?

Diffusion can take place in any substance, cause diffusion means the mixture of gases . In a perfume shop diffusion takes place


Where in the lungs does diffusion take place and what gasses are diffused?

---------------------------- The exchange of gasses takes place across the Alveoli, which are air spaces surrounded by very small air sacs and have a rich supply of blood, because they are surrounded by capillaries. The lungs are made up of many alveoli which are the respiratory surface. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood in the capillaries into the alveoli.
