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
