Diffusion is#the#movement#of#particles#(atoms,#ions#or#molecules)#
from#a#region#in#which#they#are#in#higher#concentration#to#regions#
of#lower#concentration.#A#good#example#of#diffusion#is#dilution.#
For#an#example,#a#few#drops#of#iodine,#when#dropped#into#an#
amount#of#water,#eventually#the#entire#beaker#of#water#will#have#a#
brown#tint.#The#iodine#moved#through#the#water#until#it#was#
equally#distributed#throughout#the#beaker.#Diffusion#takes#place#
along#a#concentration gradient.#A#concentration#gradient#exists#
until#the#diffused#substance#is#evenly#distributed.
Diffusion#is#the#movement#of#molecules#from#a#high#concentration#
to#a#low#concentration.#Many#molecules#diffuse#across#cell#
membranes.#

Other#everyday#examples#of#diffusion#are:

Sugar#will#diffuse#through#tea#until#the#entire#cup#of#tea#is#

Like#the#previous#demonstrations,#diffusion#can#be#observed#using#
many#different#and#simple#methods,#one#of#them#which#are#

Experiment*1*
Before#we#begin#the#experiment,#let#me#explain#the#
important#roles#in#this#demonstration.#Iodine indicates the
presence of starch. Specifically, iodine turns cornstarch from its
original colour to purple. A plastic bag is called semi-permeable
which means it characteristic that has many microscopic !openings that
allow small amounts of air or water to enter and leave. Larger
things !cannot pass through these openings. Thus, the molecules

A#common#misconception#is#that#the#iodine#ate#through#the#
bag.#Actually,#the#bag#is#like#a#screen#door#and#iodine#is#a#very#
small#molecule#that#it#able#to#pass#through#from#higher#
concentration#to#lower#concentration#solution,#called#the#
concentration#gradient.#This#theory#is#the#core#value#of#diffusion#
mass#transfer.
Second*demonstration.*

#
In#this#demonstration#we#could#compare#practically#about#
mass#transfer#diffusion.#We#take#the#daily#usage,#the#dairy#milk#
powder#and#liquid#dairy#milk.#Which#one#could#have#a#good#
dilution#with#water,#or#simply#a#good#diffusion#mass#transfer#at#
same#temperature#and#constant#mixing#?#Lets#examine#and#
compare.#
#
Firstly,#prepare#a#beaker#with#200ml#of#room#temperature#
water.#Add#three#teaspoon#of#dairy#milk#into#the#beaker.##
#
#
Then,#prepare#a#beaker#with#200ml#of#room#temperature#water#
of#the#same#condition#from#the#first.#Add#50ml#of#liquid#milk#
into#the#beaker.#

#
And#now#we#could#compare#which#beaker#has#a#good#diffusion#
by#comparing#the#colour#of#both#solutions.#The#beaker#with#
liquid#milk#has#a#better#diffusion#since#the#reactant#is#the#same#
phase#with#the#solvent.#Thus,#it#will#cause#a#good#diffusion#and#
mass#transfer#between#them.#
#
On#the#other#hand,#the#beaker#with#milk#powder#has#a#poor#
mass#transfer.#This#is#due#to#the#difference#phase#of#the#
reactant#in#which#in#solid#and#liquid#solvent.#Thus,#the#solvent#
has#to#breakdown#the#reactants#molecule#bond#to#allow#the#
diffusion#or#mass#transfer#among#them.#By#just#making#a#
simple#stirring#process#of#this#heterogeneous#mixture#would#
allow#a#good#mixing#and#mass#transfer#as#this#could#increase#
speed#of#the#reaction.#
