"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

from 0.93-1.04 grams from the solutions containing AgNO3 (Table 1). Graph one depicts the correlation of percent change in weight for each sucrose concentration with AgNO3 added. The initial length of the potato cylinders were 2cm as depicted in table two. Graph two depicts the correlation of percent change in length in different sucrose concentrations. The initial weights for the solutions lacking AgNO3 ranged from 1.0-1.7grams (Table 3). Graph three displays the correlation for the percent change

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

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

I. Research Question What are the effects of different sucrose concentrations on potato stripes which have been submerged in a range of solute sucrose concentrations. II. Background Information Osmosis is one of the four methods of moving particles across membranes along with simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ and active transport. Water is able to move in and out of most cells freely. Sometimes the number of water molecules moving in and out is the same and there is no net movement‚ but at

of the cell. An important part of regulating this is passive transport. Passive transport is the movement of materials through membranes without any input of energy. One type of passive transport is diffusion. Passive transport is the diffusion of substances across a membrane. In diffusion‚ molecules will usually move from where the substance is more concentrated to where it is less concentrated. The molecules also tend to spread out in the space they enter just like food coloring in water

Diffusion is the process by which a particular phenomenon --- such as a contagious disease‚ a technological innovation or even an idea --- is spread from person to person over a period of space and time. One method of diffusion is known as expansion diffusion‚ which is broken down into three distinct types. Expansion Diffusion * Strictly defined‚ expansion diffusion is the process of spreading something from one place to another in an ever-expanding "snowballing" process. Expansion diffusion

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 or lower to higher concentration is called hypotonic
