5 Questions
What factors affect the rate of molecular diffusion?
The rate of molecular diffusion is affected by temperature, viscosity of the fluid, and the size (mass) of the particles.
What is molecular diffusion?
Molecular diffusion is the thermal motion of particles in a liquid or gas at temperatures above absolute zero.
What happens when the concentrations are equal in molecular diffusion?
When the concentrations are equal, the process of molecular diffusion ceases and is instead governed by the process of self-diffusion.
What does diffusion explain?
Diffusion explains the net flux of molecules from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration.
What is the result of diffusion?
The result of diffusion is a gradual mixing of material, resulting in a uniform distribution of molecules.
