to an area of low concentration. How quickly diffusion occurs is dependent on several factors‚ such as temperature‚ particle size‚ and the concentration difference on either side of the membrane. Testing the hypothesis relating to the effect of molecular weight to the diffusion rate‚ agar plate set-up was used to observe the diffusion of different substances. The methylene blue and potassium permanganate (KMnO4) was used and placed in the plate. Because the two substances have distinct colors‚ the

why water has low vapour pressur and high surface tension Ok‚ well the answer to your first question is hydrogen bonds. Water has high surface tension and low vaporization temp because the hydrogen bonds in water make strong dipoles that are difficult to separate (yielding high surface tension) and greater energy to overcome when vaporized. study help site http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-01-physics-i-classical-mechanics-fall-1999/syllabus/ Explain gas laws through KMT acc to k.m.t gasses
