The 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
