    The Effect of Molecular Weight and Time on the Diffusion Rate of Potassium Permanganate‚ Potassium Dichromate‚ and Methylene Blue.1 Arantxa Alex Carpio Group 1 Sec. X – 4L March 24‚ 2015 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight and time on the rate of diffusion was determined using the agar-water gel test. A petri dish of agar-water gel with three wells was prepared and a prepared solution of each substance was dropped on each well; one with potassium permanganate (KMnO4)‚

    Addictive substances are becoming Substance abuse and addiction can changes ones life drastractly. To me substance abuse is when one over uses or depends on an addictive substance‚ and can not find a way to get away from it. Substance addiction is different than substance abuse and to me it means when someone out of control‚ which leads to harmful consequences. Many can say my siblings and I was ”sheltered” as children‚ but I believe my parents raised my three brothers and myself without bringing

    Ronald Wilson Pd:4th 11/16/12 Introduction In this experiment diffusion and osmosis is the main idea. When using diffusion and osmosis you are trying to separate different solute concentrations on either side of the membrane. Only a solute’s relative concentration‚ or water potential‚ affects the rate of osmosis. The higher the concentration of solutes‚ the faster water will flow through the membrane to equalize the concentration. The way we describe the movement from higher to lower concentration

    A summary of Diffusion of Innovations Les Robinson Fully revised and rewritten Jan 2009 Diffusion of Innovations seeks to explain how innovations are taken up in a population. An innovation is an idea‚ behaviour‚ or object that is perceived as new by its audience. Diffusion of Innovations offers three valuable insights into the process of social change: - What qualities make an innovation spread successfully. - The importance of peer-peer conversations and peer networks.

    Membrane Processing MEMBRANEFILTRATION A membrane or‚ more properly‚ a semipermeable membrane‚ is a thin layer of material capable of separating substances when a driving force is applied across the membrane. Membrane filtration enables to separate particles with a diameter smaller than the pore diameter in the membrane from the liquid feed‚ by applying a driving force (pressure) over the membrane. The membrane technology consists principally of Microfiltration (MF)‚ Ultrafiltration

    Thermodynamics: Entropy

    • 953 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Thermodynamics is the branch of science concerned with the nature of heat and its conversion to any form of energy. In thermodynamics‚ both the thermodynamic system and its environment are considered. A thermodynamic system‚ in general‚ is defined by its volume‚ pressure‚ temperature‚ and chemical make-up. In general‚ the environment will contain heat sources with unlimited heat capacity allowing it to give and receive heat without changing its temperature. Whenever the conditions change‚ the thermodynamic
