Examples of Diffusion in Gases Example 1 We take 2 gas jars one contains brown coloured bromine gas and other containing air which is colourless Now we invert gas jar containing bromine gas over gas jar containing air.

Example of gas diffusion. The molecules of gas A and B are in continuous random motion in its respective compartments. You can smell perfume because it diffuses into the air and makes its way into your nose. For example one gas diffuses very quickly into another gas.

Keep two gases A and B at the same pressure in two parts of the container. Gases have different diffusion rates at different temperatures. Also know What is an example of gas effusion.

If there are a greater number of A molecules near point 1 than at 2 then since molecules diffuse randomly in direction more A molecules will diffuse from 1 o 2 than from 2 to 1. Helium balloons deflate slowly and lose their lift. Examples of Diffusion A tea bag immersed in a cup of hot water will diffuse into the water and change its colour.

A teabag placed in a cup of hot water will diffuse into the water. You can smell perfume because it diffuses into the air and makes its way into your nose. The same gas would diffuse a little more slowly in a liquid like water and more slowly in a solid.

When a canister of liquid nitrogen loses something the escaping nitrogen gas quickly diffuses into the atmosphere. What is an example of gas diffusion. Gaseous diffusion is based on Grahams law which states that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.

Think about a helium balloon. Dipping the tea bags in hot water will diffuse the tea in hot water. Similarly if a canister of liquid nitrogen leaks a little nitrogen gas that escapes would quickly diffuse into the atmosphere.
