Do lighter gas particles diffuse less rapidly than heavier gas particles?
No, lighter gas particles diffuse more rapidly than heavier gas particles because they have higher average speeds due to their lower masses. This means they can move more quickly through a medium, leading to faster diffusion rates.
When particles diffuse. from what concentration to what concentration do they diffuse?
Particles diffuse from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This is driven by the natural tendency for particles to move from regions of higher energy to regions of lower energy in order to achieve equilibrium.
Why doesn't the particles of a solid diffuse?
Usually it's because the particles are too tightly compacted and have no room to move around as liuqids or gases do.
Which diffuse faster-liquid or gas and why?
Gases diffuse faster than liquids because gas particles have higher kinetic energy and move more freely compared to the more confined and slower-moving particles in a liquid. This allows gas particles to spread out more quickly and cover a larger area in a given amount of time.
Which way do water particles usually diffuse?
Water particles usually diffuse from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, following the concentration gradient. This process continues until equilibrium is reached and there is an equal distribution of water particles throughout the system.
Why do some particles diffuse quicker than others?
Particles diffuse at different rates due to differences in their size, shape, and mass. Smaller, lighter particles diffuse quicker than larger, heavier particles because they can move more easily through the medium in which they are diffusing. Additionally, the temperature and concentration gradient of the medium can also affect the diffusion rate of particles.
Would fat particles more likely be brought into a cell then oxygen particles?
No, fat particles are too large to diffuse easily through the cell membrane. Oxygen particles, being smaller, can diffuse freely into cells for cellular respiration.
Do lighter gas particles diffuse less rapidly than heavier gas particles?
No, lighter gas particles diffuse more rapidly than heavier gas particles because they have higher average speeds due to their lower masses. This means they can move more quickly through a medium, leading to faster diffusion rates.
Which particles can diffuse easily througn a cell membrane?
Oxygen
How can you tell which direction particles will diffuse in?
Particles will diffuse from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration to reach equilibrium. This process is driven by the random motion of particles. The direction of diffusion can be predicted by following the concentration gradient, where particles will move towards areas of lower concentration.
When particles diffuse. from what concentration to what concentration do they diffuse?
Particles diffuse from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This is driven by the natural tendency for particles to move from regions of higher energy to regions of lower energy in order to achieve equilibrium.
In what direction do particles natural diffuse?
Down concentration gradients.
What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?
Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly
What happens when particles diffuse?
When particles diffuse, they move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This process occurs spontaneously as the particles seek to reach an equilibrium state. Diffusion is driven by the random motion of particles and does not require an external energy input.
Why gas particles diffuse more slowly through aluminum that through rubber?
Gas particles diffuse more slowly through aluminum than through rubber because aluminum has a higher density and more closely packed structure, which impedes the movement of gas particles. In contrast, rubber has a more porous and flexible structure that allows gas particles to move more freely and diffuse more quickly.
What type of particles can diffuse?
Gas and liquid particles can diffuse because they are free to move around unlike solid particles that can only vibrate on the spot but cannot move from place to place.(Hope I have answered your question :P )
Do solids and liquids diffuse at the same rate?
No. The particles in the solids have different mass as the particles in the liqiuds, so they diffuse at the different rate. but if their particles have the same rate, they will diffuse at the same rate.
