1. The rate of diffusion is influenced by:  

Explanation

The correct answer is that smaller molecules diffuse more quickly. This is because smaller molecules have a smaller mass and size, allowing them to move more easily and quickly through a medium. Larger molecules, on the other hand, have a larger mass and size, which makes it more difficult for them to move and diffuse at the same rate as smaller molecules. Therefore, the size of the molecules directly influences the rate of diffusion, with smaller molecules diffusing more quickly.

2.   Watch this 5 minute video clip and answer the following questions:       Diffusion continues until :  

Explanation

Diffusion is the process by which particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until there is an equal distribution of particles. This occurs because the particles are constantly in motion due to their kinetic energy. Therefore, the correct answer is "There is an equal distribution of particles."

3. The rate of HCl vs NH4 is

Explanation

The given answer suggests that the rate of reaction between HCl and NH4 is slower compared to something else. However, without any further context or information provided in the question, it is not possible to determine the exact reason for this slower rate. It could be due to factors such as the concentration of reactants, temperature, presence of a catalyst, or any other relevant variables. Therefore, a specific explanation cannot be provided with the given information.

4. Gases are similar to liquids in that;  

Explanation

Gases and liquids are similar in that they both take the shape of their container. This means that they do not have a fixed shape and can adapt to the shape of the container they are in. Additionally, both gases and liquids are considered fluids because they can flow and have the ability to move and change shape. However, it is not correct to say that gases and liquids have a definite volume, as liquids have a definite volume while gases do not. It is also not correct to say that gases and liquids cannot be compressed, as gases can be compressed while liquids cannot.

5. The rate of diffusion is affected b temperature in that;

Explanation

The correct answer states that the rate of diffusion is slower at lower temperatures and faster at higher temperatures. This is because temperature affects the kinetic energy of molecules. At lower temperatures, molecules have lower kinetic energy, which means they move slower and have less energy to overcome the forces holding them together. As a result, diffusion occurs at a slower rate. On the other hand, at higher temperatures, molecules have higher kinetic energy, allowing them to move faster and overcome the forces more easily, resulting in a faster rate of diffusion.

6. Gases differ from solids in that;

Explanation

Gases can be compressed because the particles in a gas are spread out and have more space between them compared to particles in a solid. This means that the gas can be compressed, or squeezed into a smaller volume, by applying pressure. Gases also have a higher amount of kinetic energy compared to solids. The particles in a gas move more rapidly and randomly, resulting in higher kinetic energy. This is in contrast to solids, where the particles are tightly packed and have less freedom of movement.

7. How do gas molecules move?:

Explanation

Gas molecules move constantly and randomly in straight-line paths. This is because gas molecules are in constant motion, colliding with each other and the walls of their container. They move in straight lines until they collide with another molecule or the container, at which point they change direction. This random motion and collision behavior is what gives gases their unique properties, such as their ability to fill the entire volume of a container and to mix easily with other gases.

8. The Kinetic Theory of Matter states that;

Explanation

The correct answer states the main principles of the Kinetic Theory of Matter. According to this theory, all matter is made up of atoms, which are constantly in motion. The motion of these particles can explain the physical states of matter such as solid, liquid, and gas. Additionally, the theory also states that matter cannot be created or destroyed.

Submit
9. In a vacuum;

Explanation

In a vacuum, there is no air present to impede the movement of gas particles. Without any obstacles or collisions with other gas particles, the gas particles are able to move freely and quickly, resulting in faster diffusion.
