What is the molecular description of diffusion?

First, we must understand what diffusion is! Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high concentration to a lower concentration, in order to reach equilibrium. Cells in particular need this to maintain homeostasis, or an internal equilibrium (stability).

Do you mean molecular size or composition, perhaps? Bigger particles are harder to move than smaller molecules. Additionally, physical constitution of a particle will affect the rate of diffusion. Think of a mouse squeezing under a door as compared to a rock, of the same size. A mouse will more easily be able to squeeze through the gap

Neptune's Triton is being pulled closer and closer to the planet as it orbits. What will likely be a result of this gravitationa

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

the planet's gravity will cause Triton to fly into Neptune

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a force of attraction between two bodies with considerable masses.

One of the mass tends to pull the other to it's center.

As the force of gravity between two bodies grow, the more massive body will be drawn to the other one.

The effect is that one body will eventually collide with the other.
Since the planet pulls very hard on its moon
On the long run, we can expect Triton to fly into Neptune in the foreseeable future.

What are the disadvantages of aluminium fir building cars

Wittaler [7]

Disadvantages of aluminum in building cars include:

On average, aluminum is more expensive than steel, as much as two to three times.

Aluminum is not easily welded. If a steel door or panel suffers a crack, often it cam be welded back together easily, primed and repainted so its difficult to tell any body work has been performed. This cannot be done with aluminum. Steel also can be bent and shaped as needed.

Body shops and even dealer service centers are currently equipped for steel work with technicians skilled in the art of welding and steel fabrication. The cost of switching over to an infra structure designed specifically for all-aluminum vehicles or mass production of aluminum vehicles and components would be high.

Helpppooo give answer thanks

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

625 mL

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of stock solution (V₁) = 250 mL

Molarity of stock solution (M₁) = 5 M

Molarity of diluted solution (M₂) = 2 M

Volume of diluted solution (V₂) =?

The volume of the diluted solution can be obtained by using the dilution formula as illustrated below:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

5 × 250 = 2 × V₂

1250 = 2 × V₂

Divide both side by 2

V₂ = 1250 / 2

V₂ = 625 mL

Therefore, the volume of the diluted solution is 625 mL.

The half life of radon-222 is 3.8 days. How Much of a 100g sample is left after 15.2 days

professor190 [17]

Answer:

6.2 g

Explanation:

In a first-order decay, the formula for the amount remaining after n half-lives is

$N = \frac{N_{0}}{2^{n}}$

where

N₀ and N are the initial and final amounts of the substance

1. Calculate the number of half-lives.

If $t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \text{3.8 da}$

$n = \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = \frac{\text{15.2 da}}{\text{3.8 da}}= \text{4.0}$

2. Calculate the final mass of the substance.

$\text{N} = \frac{\text{100 g}}{2^{4.0}} = \frac{\text{100 g}}{16} = \text{6.2 g}$
