What caused the potassium permanganate to diffuse faster at this temperature?
The kinetic energy of water particles increases as the temperature rises. As a result, heated water particles move quicker. As a result, potassium permanganate diffuses more quickly in hot water than it does in cold water.
Does potassium permanganate diffuse more rapidly?
Does potassium permanganate diffuse more rapidly through water or through agar gel? It diffuses more rapidly through water, because there are no particles to slow the movement of dye.
What happens when potassium permanganate is exposed to air?
* Breathing Potassium Permanganate can irritate the lungs causing coughing and/or shortness of breath. Higher exposures can cause a build-up of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema), a medical emergency, with severe shortness of breath.
How long does it take for potassium permanganate to diffusion?
Note that Potassium Permanganate forms aggregates in the dye spot and diffusion gradually becomes slower than Methylene Blue; after ~3-‐4 hours, the Methylene Blue dye spot will be larger than the Potassium Permanganate dye spot.
Why does potassium permanganate diffuse faster than methylene blue in agar?
There is a substantial difference in molecular weight between Methylene Blue (320 g/mol) and Potassium Permanganate (158 g/mol). The combined molecules present in Potassium Permanganate are lighter than those in Methylene Blue, and therefore should allow it to diffuse more rapidly.
Why do you think the potassium permanganate diffuse faster through the hot water than in the cold water?
The kinetic energy of particles of water increases with increase in temperature . Therefore , the particles of hot water move faster. hence potassium per magnet diffuses faster in hot water than cold water .
Which dye do you think will diffuse faster through the agar and why?
a. Methylene blue had a higher molecular weight, so it was able to diffuse more rapidly spreading farther through the agar in the same time.
How does potassium permanganate work?
When applied to your skin, potassium permanganate kills germs by releasing oxygen when it meets compounds in your skin. It also acts as an astringent, which is a drying agent. Some of the conditions that potassium permanganate can help treat include: Infected eczema.
Why does potassium permanganate diffuse faster than methylene blue?
In respect to this, why does potassium permanganate diffuse faster than methylene blue? Methylene blue it has a higher molecular weight than potassium permanganate, therefore the smaller, the lighter the molecules are diffused faster than the heavier one. The molecular weight and time affect the diffusion of the particle.
What is the aim of potassium permanganate research?
Aim:To discover what factors affect the rate of diffusion of potassium permanganate crystals in water. Statement:What will happen?
What causes a molecule to diffuse more quickly?
Increasing the temperature of a solution, which increases the amount of heat energy available to facilitate diffusion, is one way to get larger molecules to diffuse more quickly. Larger molecules will also diffuse faster when the concentration gradient is steeper.
