what does the diffusion of gases tell us about their particles

give one example of diffusion of gases in a liquid

Inter mixing of two or more gases to form a homogeneous mixture without any chemical change is called diffusion of gases.

 

Diffusion of gases tells about their particles as:

The particles move rapidly in all directions as gases have more space and no fixed shape or volume and no forces of attractions.

With increase in temperature, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster.

The particles are widely spaced and scattered at random throughout the container. Hence gases have very low density.

Because of the ‘empty’ space between the particles, gases are readily compressed.

 

Example of diffusion of gases in a liquid is,

Diffusion of oxygen in water, which is important for life forms under water.

Diffusion of gases can tell thier kinetic energy and density
Diffusion of oxygen in water is important for life forms.
Paricles are always in motion.So, when copper sulphate dissolves then it 's particles get ino spaces between water particles and due to movement of water particles they start to spread in beaker,Thus the water slowly turns blue.
