NNADVOKAT [17]2 years ago

The purple color of potassium permanganate gradually spreads throughout the water in the jar by the process of diffusion.

  • Diffusion is the process of movement of a substance from the region of higher concentration to the regions of lower concentration. Diffusion occurs in liquids as well as gases.
  • Potassium permanganate is a purple color compound, when it is added in a jar of water it spreads throughout the water by the virtue of diffusion.
  • The concentration of potassium permanganate is higher at one point and the other regions in the jar have its nil or low concentrations initially, this leads to the set up of a concentration gradient.
  • As time passes diffusion occurs and the particles of potassium permanganate keep on migrating to the regions of low concentration until the concentration is uniform throughout the jar. Ultimately, it spread throughout the jar making the water purple.

Explanation :

Usually computer are such devices which converts electrical energy into thermal energy and then it gets transferred to the person. The energy flows from the higher amount to lower amount. In this case, computer is producing higher thermal energy than the person that’s the reason for the flow of energy from computer to the person.

What does a red blood cell look like at in 0.65M solution
Ket [755]
It depends on what kind of solution is referred as 0.65 M. If the solution where the red blood cell is present is hypertonic, the red blood cell will shrink. If the solution is hypotonic, the red blood cell will expand. If the solution is isotonic, the red blood cell will not expand or shrink.
