1

Natural: Does everything on its own
2

A
Solution=solvent+solute
Solvent: Liquid
Solute: Non-Liquid
3
Q
What is Concentration?
A

4
Q
What is Equilibrium?
A
When diffusion stops and its diffused evenly
5
Q
Does diffusion require energy?
A
diffusion doesn’t require energy
6
Q
Example of diffusion:
A
Oxygen moves from the alveoli(high concentration of o2) in the lungs into the blood(low concentration of o2), and carbon dioxide from the blood(high concentration of co2) into the alveoli(low concentration of co2)
