the diffusion of honey is very slow as compared to diffusion of ink, explain?

Answer 1

diffusion is the phenomenon of intermixing of a substance into a fluid. when honey is dropped in water, the diffusion is very slow because honey is very viscous i.e. the inter - particulate force of atrraction in honey is stronger compared to ink and therfore it requires more collisions of water molecules with the honey particles to break the force of attraction between honey particles. thus diffusion becomes slower.

Answer 2

In this particular example, diffusion is defined as the transfer of particles of matter from one culture to another. In essence, the transfer of ink/honey across a medium to another place.

In reality, there are many types of diffusion. In the body for example, there are proteins which speed the diffusion and transfer of other particles through cell walls. In another bodily example, the mitochondria in cells use their stored ATP (energy) to force the wanted material across diffusion gradients, etc.

However, this diffusion is very simple. No outside work is needed to produce the expected outcome, so the result mainly relies on the density of the honey and ink. Since honey is thicker than ink, it will not pass through a semi-permeable surface as quickly or efficiently. And since ink is a thin liquid, it will hold less adhesive properties and pass through in a timely manner.

Hopefully this helped

Answer 3

The diffusion of honey is very slow because when we pour honey into a paper it dropped very slowly because the honey is very thick in kind mass compared to ink. if you dropped ink on a paper, it spreads very quickly than honey because it's not so thick in kind mass

Answer 4

Honey consists of glucose and fructose which are large molecules. Ink consists of either alcohol or water which is build of smaller molecules.

This is not the whole story, but the simplest one. Obviously, other factors contribute as well (grape seed oil is quite fluent although it consists of large molecules. However, grape seed oil molecules are electrically almost neutral and therefore don't stick to each other to the same extent as glucose).

Answer 5

Diffusion Of Ink In Water

Answer 6

hi saranya,
well,diffusion of honey is slow due to high viscousity ,where as less in case of ink.

Answer 7

it's all about viscosity
