Have you ever wondered why a drop of food coloring spreads through water, or how oxygen from your lungs enters your bloodstream? Join us on an exciting journey into the world of diffusion, where we'll use interactive simulations to understand how molecules naturally move from areas of high concentration to low concentration.
Diffusion is the random movement of particles resulting in their even distribution throughout a space. Through our interactive simulation, you'll observe how:
- Molecules move from high to low concentration areas
- Temperature affects the rate of diffusion
- Different particle sizes influence diffusion speeds
Our simulation allows you to manipulate key factors that influence diffusion rates:
- Temperature control to observe molecular speed changes
- Concentration gradient adjustments
- Membrane permeability settings
- Distance and surface area modifications
Watch in real-time as molecules navigate their environment:
- Compare diffusion rates of different substances
- Measure time taken for complete diffusion
- Analyze the impact of molecular size
- Observe the effects of concentration differences
Our virtual lab provides tools for comprehensive learning:
- Real-time particle movement visualization
