Jean Perrin‚ a French physicist who later won the Nobel prize‚ spring boarded off of Einstein’s work. Using Brownian motion as evidence‚ he proved in 1911‚ once and for all‚ that matter is made of atoms and molecules. Diffusion Diffusion‚ also called molecular diffusion‚ is the process by which molecules of a given substance move from an area of relatively high concentration to an area of lower concentration. When the molecules have diffused so that they are in a uniform concentration‚ this

Factors Affecting Diffusion How does temperature affect diffusion? What is Diffusion? Definition 1: Diffusion is a process where by molecules move from an area of high concentration area to an area of low concentration. Definition 2: Diffusion is an evidence for moving particles. The spreading out of a gas is called diffusion and it takes place in haphazard and random way. Gases diffuse because the particles collide with other particles and bounce of in all directions. For example when

* Diffusion-is the process whereby particles of liquids‚ gases‚ or solids intermingle as the result of their spontaneous movement caused by thermal agitation and in dissolved substances move from a region of higher to one of lower concentration. The rate of diffusion depends on the size of the surface area to the volume in the cell. The higher the surface area of cells in relation to their volume‚ the quicker diffusion takes place. Experiment on Diffusion Aim: to determine diffusion Materials:

1. Diffusion and Osmosis‚ June 4‚ 2013 2. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to help give visual understanding of diffusion which is a solution of high concentration spontaneously (no energy required) moving to an area of low concentration. Also taking a look at osmosis‚ which is the movement of chemicals across the cell membrane. Osmosis requires some type of energy to be put in for this to happen. After these experiments we should have a better idea and visualization of how chemicals transfer

You may be wondering what diffusion‚ tonicity‚ osmosis and semipermeable membrane is. I’ll start off by explaining semipermeable membrane. A semipermeable membrane relates to the dialysis lab #1 because in dialysis tubing is considered semipermeable barriers. Semipermeable membrane is a membrane that allows passage of some particles but not others. (Lab manual) Diffusion on the other hand‚ is a form of passive transport where particles move down their concentration gradient from a region of high

Diffusion in Cells Isabel Zak Question: How does the size of a cell affect the distribution of chemicals throughout the cell? Hypothesis: The larger the cell is‚ the more difficult it will be for the chemicals to reach the centre of the cell‚ and diffuse throughout it. This is because there will be a higher surface-area to volume ratio in the larger cells‚ making the centre of the cells further away from the surface. Therefore‚ when dipped in sodium hydroxide‚ the larger cells will not

1 Diffusion is the movement of molecules (or ions) from a high concentration to low concentration. Diffusion is form of passive transport as energy does not need to be generated. Diffusion is complete when the concentration of molecules is equal on either side of the membrane. Diffusion rate can be influenced by many factors such as: Concentration gradient across the the membrane. Permeability of the membrane to the diffusing substance. Temperature. Surface area of the membrane. Question 2 2.1

October 12‚ 2012 Diffusion and Osmosis Shown In Solutions Section 1: Abstract This lab‚ title Diffusion and Osmosis‚ was centered around the diffusion across a cellular membrane and how exactly materials move and diffuse in concentrations. Both diffusion and osmosis are forms of movement that are part of passive transport dealing with cell membranes. Diffusion is where the solutes move from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. Water goes through the cell membranes by diffusion. Osmosis is

Nikhil Gopalam October Mailbox #55 Affects of Osmosis and Diffusion Introduction: Perfume spreads in a room‚ hands bloat when left in water for too long (shriveling is a common misconception)‚ a tea bag’s contents diffuse through the water. These are all examples of diffusion and osmosis. These phenomena happen everyday and people don’t realize what is actually happening. The purpose of the lab is to see the effects of diffusion and osmosis. In part B‚ the higher the concentration of solute
