Scientific Paper on Diffusion 2 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was assessed using two tests: the glass tube test and the agar-water gel test. In the glass tube set-up‚ two cotton plugs soaked in two different substances (HCl and NH4OH) were inserted into the two ends of the glass tube. The substance with the lighter molecular weight value (NH4OH‚ M = 35.0459 g/mole) diffused at a faster rate (dAve = 25.8cm)‚ resulting in the formation of a white ring around the

"Diffusion - How atoms move through solids" Diffusion means mass transport by atomic motion. The mechanisms of Gases & Liquids is known as random (Brownian) motion and for solids is known vacancy diffusion or interstitial diffusion. Simply we can define diffusion as‚ the movement of particles in a solid from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration‚ resulting in the uniform distribution of the substance. (Diffusion chapter 5‚ 2008‚ p.1) Ronald D. Kriz(1999) suggests that

Cultural differences regarding Japan and Marijuana Japan’s history with relation to marijuana is different than in the United States. Prior to occupation by US forces‚ nearly 200‚000 farm households cultivated hemp (Fulford 2003). It was not until the US imposed anti-narcotic laws that Japan faced issues of legal/illegal debate. During WWII‚ Japanese Imperial Army soldiers were allowed to smoke marijuana to ease the stress of battle. The smoke of the marijuana plant also held spiritual values in

If you take the Hispanics out of America you are also taking out very famous artists and actors such as George Clooney‚ Shakira‚ and Jennifer Lopez. But the entire Hispanic culture is not just made up of famous

Organic Chemistry - Introduction 1 2812 Basic definitions for organic chemistry Scope Organic chemistry is a vast subject so it is easier to split it into small sections for study. This is usually done by studying compounds which behave in a similar way because they have a particular atom‚ or group of atoms‚ (FUNCTIONAL GROUP) in their structure. Catenation The ability to form bonds between atoms of the same element. Carbon catenates to form chains and rings‚ with single‚ double

Diffusion Introduction Diffusion is the net movement of ions or molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low along the concentration gradient until equilibrium has been reached. The steeper the gradient the faster the rate of diffusion. There are a few types of diffusion. Three (3) of those are: Facilitated Diffusion- refers to diffusion of substances across a cell membrane with the help of transport protein. Dialysis- refers to the diffusion of solutes across a semipermeable

The Effect of Molecular Weight and Time on the Diffusion Rate of Potassium Permanganate‚ Potassium Dichromate‚ and Methylene Blue.1 Arantxa Alex Carpio Group 1 Sec. X – 4L March 24‚ 2015 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight and time on the rate of diffusion was determined using the agar-water gel test. A petri dish of agar-water gel with three wells was prepared and a prepared solution of each substance was dropped on each well; one with potassium permanganate (KMnO4)‚

Biology 107 Section 1 11/4/13 Diffusion & Osmosis Introduction The purpose in this experiment was to estimate the osmolarity of potato tuber and celery cells by change of weight.Pieces of potato tuber and celery would be incubated in different sucrose solutions to find out the molarity at which weight of potato and celery tissues do not change. My hypothesis was that the Table 1: Group Data for Experiment:Estimating Osmolarity by Change in Weight Table

Ronald Wilson Pd:4th 11/16/12 Introduction In this experiment diffusion and osmosis is the main idea. When using diffusion and osmosis you are trying to separate different solute concentrations on either side of the membrane. Only a solute’s relative concentration‚ or water potential‚ affects the rate of osmosis. The higher the concentration of solutes‚ the faster water will flow through the membrane to equalize the concentration. The way we describe the movement from higher to lower concentration

income inequality decreased over the same period. Between-country inequalities in level of education and access to sanitation remained mostly unchanged but the largest between-country difference in mean life expectancy increased‚ from 9 years in 1990 to 20 years in 2010. Throughout the study period‚ there was disproportionality in the burden of disease between BRICS. However‚ the national infant mortality rate fell substantially over the study period in all five countries. In Brazil and China‚ the
