Is it true that water tends diffuse from a region where it is lees concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?

It is not true. All substances tend to diffuse from an area of higher concentration to that of lower concentration. This is called passive transport(no energy required), or in the case of water, Osmosis. However, if given energy, they can also move from an area of lower concentration to that of higher concentration. This process is called active transport.

∙ 11y agoYes, the diffusion of any matter always takes place from its high concentration towards its low concentration. So is the case with water.
If water forms a solution by dissolving some solutes, the concentration of water will be lower in a solution than pure water.

Do electron tends to go to region of high or low potential?
electrons are negatively charged so they tend to move towards the more positive charge which in this case would be high potential.
A torque acting on an object tends to produce what?
A torque acting on an object tends to produce rotation.
An object at rest tends to stay in rest an object in motion tends to stay in motion?
Because of inertia

Is it true that water tends to diffuse from a region where is is less concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
true
Does water tend to diffuse from a region where it less concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
No. Water tends to diffuse from a region where it (water) is more concentrated to a region where it (water) is less concentrated. The other way of thinking about this is that water diffuses from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration.
Does water tend to diffuse from a region where it is less concentrated to a region where it is highly concentrated?
Maybe you mean osmosis?However, osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeable membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.answ2. However, in the oceans, the turbulence is very much less than that of the air. Thus whilst C14 for example diffuses reasonably rapidly in the air, and may be assumed to homogenize after a few years; in the oceans the rate of diffusion is very much slower.And the oceans are known to stratify. For example in the Fiords in New Zealand, there forms a fresh water layer on top of the sea water, and this is known to freeze in winter. The ocean water itself in the same locale never gets cold enough to freeze.
Why do stone buildings tend to weather more rapidly in cities than they do in rural areas?
The minerals in stone can be reactive with the chemicals, particularly acids, found in air pollution, which tends to be more concentrated in highly populated areas.
A substance that moves across a cell membrane without using the cell's energy tends to move?
from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration (if it is water) the opposite if it is a solid
What are the benefits of gargling with salt water?
There is a natural tendency for a substance to move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration (see osmosis). This means that even water moves from its region of abundance to its region of shortage. Since salt water is more concentrated (less water) than the contents in your mouth (including any germs in there), when you gargle with it, it tends to draw water out of bacterial cells (which have more water in them). All cells are over 70% water and require water to function effectively and hence survive. If the salt water is concentrated enough, it will kill most germs in the mouth and some from the throat.
What is the osmolarity of peripheral parenteral nutrition?
The osmolarity tends to be less than 600-900 mOsm/L
How much alcohol does a beer contain?
It is highly variable from time and place but tends to be about 5%.
What is a substance that moves across a cell membrane without using the cells energy tends to move?
away from the area where it is more concentrated
A substance that moves by passive transport tends to move where?
Passive transport means it does not require energy. Therefore, substances move from areas of high concentration to low concentration. They do not require energy because they are staying within the concentration gradient.
Does the air in a low pressure region tend to sink or rise?
It tends to rise because it is warm air

Champagne is a highly carbonated alcoholic beverage. when it is shaken and then opened, it tends to bubble and shoot everywhere.
