As you heat the water the partials expand making it easier to diffuse.

What would heating do to the rate of diffusion of a salt crystal?

the rate of diffusion increases. the increase in the temperature makes the molucules move faster giving space for diffusion to occur and the amount and the time increases.


Why would crystals diffuse faster in hot water than in cold water?

Crystals diffuse faster in hot water because the heat increases the kinetic energy of water molecules, making them move more rapidly and allowing for quicker diffusion of the dissolved particles from the crystal. The increased temperature also decreases the viscosity of the water, which reduces resistance to the diffusion process.


What is anhydrous?

A hydrated crystal in one that has water molecules trapped inside the crystal structure of some other compound, typically an ionic compound. The water is chemically combined with a substance in such a way that it can be removed, as by heating, without substantially changing the chemical composition of the substance. As a good example, copper sulfate is a commonly hydrated crystal. To show that it is hydrated, you would write CuSO4 . 5H2O. By putting a dot in between the two, it indicates that they are waters of hydration, not really part of the compound (you can remove them by heating the crystals). You can see in this case, there are 5 water molecules for each CuSO4.


A 0.5 g crystal of gypsum dissolves very slowly in 200 mL of water while the water is stirred which of these would cause the gypsum to dissolve faster?

Increasing the temperature of the water, increasing the surface area of the gypsum crystal (e.g. crushing it into smaller pieces), and increasing the acidity of the water (by adding a small amount of acid) would cause the gypsum to dissolve faster.


What are metaphors for 'diffusion'?

Diffusion is the movement of a mineral or nutrient moving across the concentration gradient of a membrane. The closest word to diffusion would probobly be osmosis, which is the movement of water through a membrane.

How a change in medium water to gelatin would affect the rate of diffusion?

A change in medium water to Gelatin would affect the rate of diffusion dramatically. The change from water to gelatin would slow down the rate of diffusion.

What would happen to large potassium magnate crystal in water after 5 minutes?

if the water is cold then the crystal will take time to dissolve as particles move slowly when in cold water. therefore, after 5 minutes it will still be the same or if its normal water it will start to diffuse slowly.


Hot water heating systems?

What would you like to know about them? I have an e-book here " understanding hot water heating systems" http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Water-Heating-Systems-ebook/dp/B007IVVK4O Hope that helps.


What type of mirror would be used for the solar heating of water?

A parabolic mirror would be used for the solar heating of water. This type of mirror is designed to focus sunlight onto a specific point, creating high temperatures suitable for heating water or other fluids.

Is water freezing into ice an example of diffusion?

These are two different processes. Diffusion is when two substance mix together, evaporation is when a liquid turns into a gas. If diffusion where to effect evaporation it would be to do with changing the properties of the liquid being evaporated.
