What is the process by which substances move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration

Biology
1 answer:
AleksandrR [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Diffusion

Explanation:

The process by which substances move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration is called diffusion.

For example:

Substance moves across a cell membrane without using the cell's energy tends to move away from the area where it is more concentrated.

It is known as passive transport.

It is the process in which substance without using the cellular energy tend to move down the concentration gradient.

It is also known as simple diffusion.

When perfume bottle is open particles spread in air due to difference in concentration from bottle to out side environment.

While,

In case of active transport substance move against the concentration gradient i.e to wards the area of higher concentration.

This process require energy.

Why is the force of friction between two blocks reduced by adding dishwashing liquid between them?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The force of friction is reduced between the blocks by adding the dishwashing liquid because the liquid is slippery and this makes it difficult for the two surfaces to contact each other directly. Therefore the blocks slip past each other rather than grinding against each other, producing less friction.

Explanation:

Hope This Helps :P

Generally speaking, what effect does temperature have on the solubility of gases in liquids?
MrRa [10]

With the increase in temperature, solubility of gases in liquid decrease.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Gases are soluble in liquid but it's solubility depends on temperature and pressure. As the temperature increases, the solubility of gases decrease. It is because with the increase in temperature, the kinetic energy of both the molecules of gas and the solvent increase. This leads to increase in molecular vibration and this makes the gas molecules escape the solution.

This makes the gas solubility vs temperature graph have a hyperbolic curve. As the temperature increases the solubility decrease and vice versa.
