Question
imagine you have solute molecules at a very high concentration at a specific location within a solvent. all molecules move around randomly. what will result over a period of time? multiple choice no change will occur. solute molecules will spread out evenly reaching equilibrium. the solute will settle to the bottom of the container. solute molecules will pack together even more tightly.
Diffusion is the process by which solute molecules move from an area of high - concentration to an area of low - concentration. In a solvent, random molecular motion will cause the solute to spread out until equilibrium is reached.
