    of a cell is the cell membrane. The cell Membrane is a thin protective coating around a cell that regulates what goes in and out of the cell. An important part of regulating this is passive transport. Passive transport is the movement of materials through membranes without any input of energy. One type of passive transport is diffusion. Passive transport is the diffusion of substances across a membrane. In diffusion‚ molecules will usually move from where the substance is more concentrated

    ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was measured using two tests namely: the glass tube test and the agar-water test. The set-up of the glass tube test used two cotton balls of the same size. One cotton ball is moistened with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the other one is moistened with ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH). The two cotton balls were inserted in both ends of the glass tube. NH4OH which has a lighter molecular weight (35.0459 g/mole) diffused with a faster rate (dave=20

    Diffusion Introduction Diffusion is the net movement of ions or molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low along the concentration gradient until equilibrium has been reached. The steeper the gradient the faster the rate of diffusion. There are a few types of diffusion. Three (3) of those are: Facilitated Diffusion- refers to diffusion of substances across a cell membrane with the help of transport protein. Dialysis- refers to the diffusion of solutes across a semipermeable

A solution can be a solid solution (e.g. an olivine)‚ a liquid solution for example an aqueous solution that results from the dissolution of sodium chloride solid crystals in water or it can be a gas solution (e.g. a mixture of oxygen gas and carbon dioxide gas in the air). This solution may be ideal or non-ideal. The type of solution whether it is ideal or non-ideal‚ will have a different thermodynamic function. Thermodynamics is a system

    two laws that can possibly explain why the tanker imploded. One of the laws is Charles’‚ this law basically explains that there is a relationship between temperature and volume. When heat is added to a liquid volume and temperature increase‚ but in a molecular level the molecules move faster bouncing around in the container it’s in. The equation to Charles’ is V1/T1 = V2T2 .One of other laws is Boyle’s‚ the law deals with the relationship of pressure and volume. Boyle’s law helps explain how much
