Diffusion Flashcards
What is diffusion?
The moment of particles from a place where they’re more concentrated go less concentrated until they’re evenly spread
How does temp affect diffusion
The HOTTER the substance, the faster the particles, FASTER diffusion
How does the concentration gradient affect diffusion
The BIGGER the concentration gradient, the bigger the difference in concentration,
FASTER diffusion
How does particle size affect diffusion
SMALLER particles move faster, FASTER diffusion
How does distance affect diffusion
The SHORTER the distance, the FASTER the diffusion
How does the surface area affect diffusion
BIGGER surface area, FASTER diffusion
How does the permeability of the medium affect diffusion
The EASIER it is to pass through the medium, the FASTER diffusion
