What is the molecular description of diffusion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
muminat3 years ago
8 0
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

Define "Mutarotation"
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Mutarotation refers to the change in the optical rotation or optical activity of a solution due to the change in the equilibrium of the two anomers. It depends upon the optical activity and ratio of the anomeric forms in the solution.

To measure the optical rotation of a given solution, a polarimeter can be used and thus the ratio of the anomeric forms can be calculated.

What is the mass in grams of 5.00moles of CH4?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

1. 80g

2. 1.188mole

Explanation:

1. We'll begin by obtaining the molar mass of CH4. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CH4 = 12 + (4x1) = 12 + 4 = 16g/mol

Number of mole of CH4 from the question = 5 moles

Mass of CH4 =?

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of CH4 = 5 x 16

Mass of CH4 = 80g

2. Mass of O2 from the question = 38g

Molar Mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32g/mol

Number of mole O2 =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of O2 = 38/32

Number of mole of O2 = 1.188mole
