Diffusion

Cards (5)

What is diffusion
The process of particles spreading from a higher concentration to a lower concentration
Where does diffusion occur
Liquids and gasses because these states have the freedom to move randomly
How to increase the rate of diffusion
Increase the concentration gradient (difference in concentration between 2 areas)
Increase temperature
Increase the surface area of the membrane where diffusion is occurring
Calculating volume
Side x side x side
Calculating surface area
Side x side x number of faces
