Diffusion Flashcards
1
Q
What is diffusion ?
A
Diffusion is the spreading out of particles from an area of a higher concentration to the area of a lower concentration
2
Q
Where does diffusion happen ?
A
Diffusion happens in both solution and gases this is because the particles in these substances are free to move about randomly
3
Q
The ** the concentration gradient, the ** the diffusion rate
A
The bigger the concentration gradient, the faster the diffusion rate
A higher temperature will also give a faster diffusion rate because the particles have more energy to move around faster
