What is the process by which gas particles spread out from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?

• Condensation

• Diffusion

• Evaporation

• Osmosis

What factors affect the rate of diffusion in gases?

• Temperature, molecular weight, and surface area

• Atomic number, reactivity, and electronegativity

• Color, pressure, and volume

• Density, boiling point, and solubility

How does diffusion occur in liquids?

• Particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

• Diffusion occurs only in gases, not in liquids.

• Particles move from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.

• Diffusion is caused by the force of gravity pulling particles downward.

What is the role of temperature in affecting the rate of diffusion in liquids?

• Temperature decreases the kinetic energy of particles, leading to faster diffusion.

• Temperature has no effect on the rate of diffusion in liquids.

• Temperature increases the kinetic energy of particles, leading to faster diffusion.

• Temperature causes the particles to move closer together, slowing down diffusion.

What are the factors that affect the rate of diffusion?

• Shape, viscosity, density, and color

• Density, mass, velocity, and weight

• Color, pressure, time, and volume

• Temperature, concentration gradient, surface area, and medium

How does the surface area of the substance affect the rate of diffusion?

• It causes the substance to evaporate instead of diffusing.

• It decreases the rate of diffusion.

• It increases the rate of diffusion.

• It has no effect on the rate of diffusion.

What are some common diffusion experiments conducted in chemistry?

• Diffusion of animals in different environments

• Diffusion of gases, liquids, and solids in different mediums

• Diffusion of emotions in different people

• Diffusion of music in different genres

How can the diffusion of a substance be measured in an experiment?

• By measuring the weight of the substance

• By observing the color of the substance

• By using methods such as spectrophotometry, chromatography, or by measuring the change in concentration over time.

• By counting the number of atoms in the substance

How is diffusion relevant in 9th grade chemistry?

• Diffusion only occurs in solids

• It is only relevant in advanced chemistry studies

• It has no relevance in 9th grade chemistry

• It helps students understand how particles move and spread in different states of matter.
