Diffusion of innovation and persuasion Diffusion‚ What is it? “Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system.” “Diffusion is a special type of communication concerned with the spread of messages perceived (or understood) as new ideas” 2 Main Elements of Diffusion 1. 2. 3. 4. An innovation Channels of communication The spread and speed of the idea over time The social network and individuals who

1. Provide aim and background information 1.1 Diffusion is the process which molecules dissipate into a solution evenly over a period of time. An example is putting sugar in your coffee‚ after a while if you don ’t mix the solution‚ the sucrose will over time‚ go through the process of diffusion and be distributed throughout the coffee. Osmosis is movement of H2O molecules passing through a permeable cell membrane to the less concentrated solution‚ eventually to reach an equivalent number of molecules

The effect of molecular weight on the diffusion rates of Potassium permanganate (KMnO4)‚ Potassium dichromate(K2Cr2O7) and Methylene Blue^1 _________________ Group 3 Sec. X-1L February 6‚ 2012 ____________________ ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the diffusion of substances were tested through the use of agar-water gel with three wells placed in a petri dish. Drops of three different substances namely: Potassium

Process of Diffusion and its importance in living organisms Diffusion is the movement of molecules or ions down a concentration gradient i.e. from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. For a diffusion system to be efficient‚ it should have a large surface area so that high amount of substances can be exchanged at a time. It should also have a thin membrane and a continuous supply of substances‚ as a thin membrane means that the diffusion pathway would be short‚ and the continuous

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

There is simple diffusion‚ as explained‚ and facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion‚ on the other hand‚ involves larger or charged molecules or substances that need a protein tunnel through the membrane to help the substance enter and

this lab was to observe passive transport of molecules through diffusion and osmosis. We had to keep close observation on two dialysis bags and explain how we measured the change in weight as diffusion and osmosis occurred throughout the experiment. Cells produce an energy called Kinetic Energy. This causes molecules of the cell to move around and bump into each other. Diffusion is one result of this molecular movement. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration

Practical to Investigate Diffusion and Osmosis Collect the following equipment: 1x beaker 1x length visking tubing 1x pipette 1x pair safety glasses Instructions – always wear safety glasses! 1. Fill your beaker ¾ full with water 2. Tie a knot in one end of your visking tubing 3. Using your pipette‚ transfer some concentrated sugar solution to the inside of the visking tubing‚ leaving enough space to tie a knot in the open end 4. Add a few drops of red food colouring to the inside of the visking

Brian Toohey Biology Mrs. Heimforth 12/06/10 Diffuse the Osmosis Section 2: Introduction Step 1: The scientific concept of this lab was to see how osmosis transferred the substance through the cells to reach equilibrium. Step 2: My hypothesis was that the bag with 60% sucrose then it would be heavier than the bag with tap water or 30% sucrose. I thought this because I thought that there would be more of a substance change in 60% sucrose. Section 3: Methods First get 3 pieces of the same
