In a chemical sense diffusion is a result of the energy of the system (temperature). The movement of the molecules (or atoms) allow them to disperse themselves amongst like sized particles. Diffusion is a slow process compared to convection - in other words dye spreads slowly through still water, quickly through stirred water. Diffusion is one of the major component of entropy a major component of thermo-dynamics.

What is the description of the process of diffusion?
During diffusion, the random motion of atoms causes them to spread out gradually.
What process causes water to change color from food coloring?
This is the diffusion of the coloring agent molecules in water.
For diffusion to occur there must be?
For diffusion to occur there needs to be a concentration gradient. Which means that the concentrations on the two sides must be different. In diffusion the particles flow from high concentration to low concentration.
How does pressure affect the rate of diffussion?
Higher pressures cause more molecular collisions which in turn causes a greater rate of diffusion. The opposite is also true - lower pressures cause a decreased rate of diffusion.
What causes diffusion to start and stop?
Diffusion begins when there is a concentration gradient, meaning particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration to achieve equilibrium. The process continues until the concentrations become equal, at which point diffusion effectively stops as there is no longer a gradient to drive the movement of particles. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and the properties of the medium can influence the rate of diffusion.
What is the description of the process of diffusion?
During diffusion, the random motion of atoms causes them to spread out gradually.
What process causes water to or leave cell?
diffusion
The diffusion of potassium out of a neuron causes it to experience?

What determines how molecules are distributed in diffusion?
The concentration gradient is what causes molecules to diffuse.
What causes oxygen to diffuse into the blood from the alveoli - simplest anwer?
A diffusion gradient.
How do you use diffusion in a sentence?
The story will be out in public once it'll be diffused on the news this evening.
Does a temperature increase increase the rate of diffusion?
yes the higher the temprature the quicker the rate of diffusion
Which major religion was spread through migrant diffusion?
Christianity spread through migrant diffusion when European countries brought it when they settled in America.
What principle causes the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the capillaries and the alveoli?
diffusion
What are some causes of cultural diffusion and how did it affect early civilizations?
Some causes of cultural diffusion was when different people traded with each other and when they moved. It affected the early civilizations because they kept spreading ideas around the world and was constantly changing other ideas.
Which transport mechanism causes the respiratory gases to move across the alveolar pulmonary capillary membranes?
Diffusion
What process causes water to change color from food coloring?
This is the diffusion of the coloring agent molecules in water.
