Correlation between the Diffusion Rate of a Substance and its Molecular Weight ABSTRACT To test the effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion‚ various experiments were performed. One of which is the glass tube test wherein cotton balls of the same size were moistened in two different substances (NH4OH and HCl). These cotton balls were plugged at each side of a glass tube. After some time‚ formation of a white ring occurred. The white ring‚ in fact‚ is a product of the reaction between the molecules

The relationship between shape and diffusion rate Aim- To investigate the relationship between the shape of an object and the time taken for a substance to diffuse to its centre. Hypotheses- Part A) The 5x5x2.5mm block will turn clear first as the Surface area to volume ratio is high and the 10x10x10mm block will take the longest to completely diffuse the Acid to its centre. Part B) The flat‚ rectangular block will be the first to completely turn clear due to its high Surface Area/Volume Ratio

Diffusion and Osmosis of Solutes and Water Across a Membrane Brittany Bacallao Nova Southeastern University Abstract: This experiment gave a visual understanding of osmosis and diffusion. The first experiment proved that solutes would move down a concentration gradient if permeable to the selective membrane. The second experiment proved different solute concentrations affect the movement of water‚ depending on the solute concentration inside the cell. The purpose of this lab was to look for

Activity One: 1. The two major variables that affect the rate of diffusion: a. The composition of the lipid bilayer (eg. more cholesterol‚ less permeability to polar substances) b. The structure of the molecule undergoing diffusion (eg. steric conformation‚ size‚ polarity‚ amount and strength of hydrogen bonding) 2. Urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO because the pores of the membrane were too small for the urea to pass through. The molecular weight of urea is 60.06 g/mol‚ over

can influence the rate of diffusion through a membrane. Chemical kinetics plays a large part in diffusion. In order for a solute to passively diffuse through a membrane‚ it must line up with a pore in the membrane and pass through it (textbook 101). The concentration gradient is also important for diffusion because solutes diffuse from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration (textbook page 101). There are different factors that can affect the rate of this diffusion. Our intent was

The relationship between exchange rates‚ interest rates • In this lecture we will learn how exchange rates accommodate equilibrium in financial markets. For this purpose we examine the relationship between interest rates and exchange rates. Interest rates are the return to holding interest-bearing financial assets. In the previous lecture we have pointed out that as being a financial asset exchange rates tend to adjust more quickly to new information that goods prices. Like exchange rates‚ interest

All children are unique and develop at their own rate but they tend to follow a similar pattern. There are a number of areas of development like‚ Physical‚ communication‚ Social‚ emotional‚ behavioural‚ Intellectual and moral development. Development is very rapid in the early years of a child’s life and tends to slow down the older they get. Moral development is usually adapted from the setting a child lives and would usually deem something wrong and right‚ based on what their parents believe is

Relationship between Inflation and Interest Rate Interest and inflation are key to investing decisions‚ since they have a direct impact on the investment yield. When prices rise‚ the same unit of a currency is able to buy less. A sustained deterioration in the purchasing power of money is called inflation. Investors aim to preserve the value of their money by opting for investments that generate yields higher than the rate of inflation. In most developed economies‚ banks try to keep the interest

Diffusion is one of several transport phenomena that occur in nature. A distinguishing feature of diffusion is that it results in mixing or mass transport‚ without requiring bulk motion. Thus‚ diffusion should not be confused with convection‚ or advections‚ which are other transport mechanisms that utilize bulk motion to move particles from one place to another. In Latin‚ "diffundere" means "to spread out". There are two ways to introduce the notion of diffusion: either a phenomenological approach
