Diffusion would happen quicker in gas because the particles in gas move at a higher rate than in liquid. Particles in liquid are also more uniform than that of gas deeming it to take a longer time to dissolve.

If you burst a balloon where would the helium go?

Into the atmosphere. I understand that, being a very light gas, the helium would gradually diffuse into outer space.


Is oxygen lighter than helium?

no. If it was, we would have oxygen balloons instead of helium balloons.


Which way would O2 and CO2 diffuse during internal respiration?

O2 would diffuse into the cells, and CO2 would diffuse into the systemic capillaries.


What elemnt has 2 Electrons Neutral Atoms?

The answerto that would be Helium.


Would a balloon float longer if it had 100 percent helium or half helium and half oxygen?

100% helium


Would you name some gases?

helium,oxygen


What is the difference between oxide and oxygen?

Helium Oxide would be a compound of 2 elements: helium and oxygen but no such compound exists. Oxygen is just oxygen and nothing else. It is an element in its own right.


Can oxygen diffuse across a cell membrane?

No, oxygen cannot directly diffuse across a cell membrane. Instead, it crosses the cell membrane with the help of specific transport proteins, such as aquaporins and oxygen channels. These proteins facilitate the movement of oxygen from areas of high concentration to low concentration.


Why would oxygen diffuse much faster in air than water?

Oxygen diffuses faster in air than in water because air has lower density and viscosity compared to water. This results in less resistance to the movement of oxygen molecules, allowing them to travel more quickly through the air compared to water. Additionally, the concentration of oxygen in air is higher than in water, further facilitating the diffusion process.


Which one of the gases in air would diffuse faster?

Nitrogen gas because it has the smallest molecular mass.............


What nuclei fuse to form oxygen?

Oxygen is produced through repeated hydrogen fusion in stars. One such process would start with the hydrogen atoms fusing to form helium. And then the helium would fuse to form beryllium. That in turn would fuse to create oxygen.


If it takes oxygen gas O2 12.5 seconds to diffuse from a container how long will it take sulfur dioxide gas SO2 to diffuse from the same container?

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is heavier than oxygen gas (O2) due to its higher molar mass, so it will diffuse slower than oxygen gas. The exact time it would take for sulfur dioxide to diffuse from the container would depend on specific conditions and factors, but generally, it would take longer than 12.5 seconds.
