We smell because of particles in the air. Air currents , due to people moving about or fans in the room. carry the particles across the room and the nerves in your nose detect them.

What phase is it when perfume is released from a bottle and you can smell it on the other side of the room?

The phase is called diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, allowing the perfume particles to spread out and reach your nose even across the room.


If you open a bottle of perfume after a period of time the people on the opposite side of the room will be able to smell it due to the process of what evaporation or vapor pressure?

The people on the opposite side of the room will be able to smell the perfume due to the process of diffusion, where the vaporized perfume particles move from an area of high concentration (near the bottle) to an area of lower concentration (across the room). This process is driven by the perfume's vapor pressure, which is the pressure exerted by the vaporized particles above the liquid surface.


Does raffinee perfume by Dana smell exactly the same as raffinee perfume made in the early 1980's?

It is possible that the scent of Raffinee perfume may have been slightly reformulated over the years. Factors such as ingredient availability and changing consumer preferences can influence the formulation of a perfume. To determine if there are any significant differences in scent between the current version and the one from the 1980s, it is best to compare them side by side.


What is a real life example of simple diffusion?

Perfume. If you spray any type of perfume in one area of a room, soon you can smell it at the other side of the room. When first sprayed, the perfume is highly concentrated in one area. Then diffusion kicks in and the particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until it there is an equal concentration throughout.


How does thermal energy from a radiator reach the other side of the room?

Hot air from a radiator reaches the other side of a room by convection current. Convection current is when hot water/ air rises, hot water/ air cools, cool water/ air sinks, cool water/ air warms and then the cycle starts over.

spray the perfume on one side of the room go to the other side and you can smell it, that's how you can tell, cuz the molecules are flowing. - Grade 7

Why can you smell something that is burning on the other side of the room?

When something is burning, molecules are released into the air, which then travel through the air and reach your nose. Your sense of smell detects these molecules, even if they are far away in the room, allowing you to smell something that is burning on the other side of the room.

When you open a bottle of perfume why can you smell it from the other side of the room?

everything is made up of particles- the air, and every gas, liquid and solid there is. that includes your perfume and the air around it. the particles in gas are very spread out, allowing more particles from elsewhere to diffuse around them, and possible mix with them. As perfume is sprayed, the particles will turn into a gas, colliding and mixing with the air particles. As the particles in gas are far apart from each other the particles from the perfume are allowed though the particles, spreading out (diffusing) all over the room. The particles are obviously scented, so that's that. Hope that makes sense...


Why can people on one side of a room smell the scent of an air freshener sprayed on the opposite side?

Because the particles of airfreshener drift through the air to disperse around the whole room !
