What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the process when molecules move to a less concentrated area called?
Diffusion, unless it is water, in which case it is osmosis.
Why is the collision frequency in a gas likely to less than in a concentrated liquid?
Molecules or atoms in a gas are farther apart than in a liquid, so the collision frequency is lower.
What is osmoius?
It seems like there might be a typographical error. However, if you meant to ask about "osmosis," it is the process by which molecules pass through a semi-permeable membrane from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one, in order to balance out the concentrations on either side of the membrane.
Is there very little space between the molecules of a liquid?
In liquids, molecules are close together but with some space between them. The molecules are constantly moving, allowing them to flow and take the shape of the container. The distance between molecules is greater than in a solid, but less than in a gas.
What happens to solute molecules when the solvent evaporates or boils?
When the solvent evaporates or boils, the solute molecules become more concentrated as the solvent decreases. Eventually, the solute may reach a point where it precipitates out of the remaining solvent as a solid.
Why give an isotonic solution?
When comparing solutions, those that have the same concentration are isotonic. One that is more concentrated is hypertonic; less concentrated is hypotonic.
What is the name of the pressure that must be exerted on a solution to prevent the passage of solvent molecules into a solution when the solution and solvent are separated by a semipermeable membrane?
That pressure is called osmotic pressure. It is the pressure needed to prevent the flow of solvent molecules from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.
Why can color be used only for comparing similar solutions and not comparing different solutions?
Concentration. If the color is dark then its more concentrated and lighter means less
What is passive membran transport?
The diffusion of substances across a membrane is called passive transport. Molecules move from where the substance is more concentrated to where it is less concentrated.
What is the name of the process when molecules move to a less concentrated area called?
Diffusion, unless it is water, in which case it is osmosis.
How do sponges breathe?
A sponge gets its oxygen from the water. The oxygen moves from the water to the sponge by a process called diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules of a substance move from an area where they are highly concentrated (where there are a lot of oxygen molecules) to an area where they are less concentrated (where there are not a lot of oxygen molecules). Oxygen is more highly concentrated in the water then in the sponge. Therefore, the oxygen goes from the water to the sponge.
Molecules tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated This process is called?
This process is called diffusion, where molecules move down their concentration gradient to achieve a uniform distribution.
Why did whole milk move?
The whole milk moves because of diffusion.The molecules of milk diffuse thorugh the water as in simple diffusion, molecules diffueses from where it is more concentrated to where it is less concentrated to where it is less concentrated (diffusing down its concentration gradient). This leads to dynamic equilibrium; the solute molecules of mile continue to cross the membrane but at equal rates in both directions. Diffusion is a spontaneous process, needing no input of energy. No work must be done to move substances down the concentration gradient.
Distinguish between dilute acid or base and concentrated acid or base?
Concentrated acid or base has a high amount of acid or base in a solution, usually at or near 100% concentration. Dilute acid or base has a low amount of acid or base in a solution, usually with a lower concentration. Dilute solutions are weaker and less corrosive, while concentrated solutions are stronger and more reactive.
What do moleculers do?
water molecules are just there to difuse into other liquids to make them more dilute, or less concentrated other than that, not a lot else
Why can concentrated parenteral nutrition solution be used in total parenteral nutrition?
As total parenteral nutrition is delivered to a central vein instead of a peripheral vein, thrombosis is less likely to occur so concentrated parenteral nutrition solutions can be used.
What is the term for the diffusion of water across a semipermeable?
The term for the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is osmosis. Osmosis is when the molecules of a solvent move from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one. This equalizes the concentrations on each side of the member.
