diffusion Flashcards
1
Q
Diffusion a little more in depth
A
It consists of particles moving down a concentration gradient(high conc->low conc)
2
Q
Do particles stop moving when both sides are equal?
A
No as they just have 0 net movement and not 0 total movement
3
Q
what are the conditions that have to be there for diffusion to occour?
A
Particles must be fluidised and a concentration gradient must exist
4
Q
Factors affecting rate of diffusion
A
Temperature, concentration difference, surface area, distance, molecule size
