Question
in the process of diffusion, when sugar is mixed with water, equilibrium would be reached multiple choice when there is the same number of water molecules as dissolved sugar molecules. when molecules of sugar stop moving. when the dissolved sugar molecules are evenly distributed throughout the solution.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In the case of sugar - water solution, equilibrium in diffusion is reached when there is no net movement of sugar molecules, which occurs when the dissolved sugar molecules are evenly distributed throughout the solution. Molecules are always in motion due to kinetic energy, so they never truly stop moving. Also, equilibrium is not related to the number of water and sugar molecules being equal.
