What is the formula for density?

A

Density=Mass
———
Volume

17
Q

How do you find the density of an irregular shape?

A

Put it into a Eureka can and measure the displaced water.

18
Q

What is diffusion?

A

Diffusion is the spreading out of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration.

19
Q

Highter temperatures increase ______

A

kinetic energy (and therefore the movement of the particles, increasing the rate of diffusion)

20
Q

Concentration Gradients =

A

difference in concentration
