Diffusion of Solids in Liquids

This document describes three experiments on the diffusion of solids in liquids. The first experiment shows that copper sulfate crystals diffuse into water, turning the water blue. The second experiment demonstrates that diffusion occurs faster at higher temperatures. The third experiment finds that smaller copper sulfate particles diffuse more quickly than larger particles. In conclusion, the rate of solid diffusion in liquids is affected by temperature, particle size, and other factors.

Introduction
 When substances are brought in contact with each other they intermix, this property is
known as Diffusion. This property of diffusion takes place very rapidly in case of gases and
to a lesser extent in case of liquids, whereas solids do not show this process of diffusion
with each other. But what we can observe in case of solids is that the diffusion of solids in
liquids takes place at a very slow rate. If a solid is kept in contact with an excess of solvent
in which it is soluble, some portion of the solid gets dissolved. We know that this process is
known as dissolution of a solid in liquid and this process has taken place due to the
diffusion of solid particles into liquid. Molecules of solute are in constant random motion
due to the collision between molecules of solute and that of the solvent.
Objective
Rate of diffusion depends upon:-

01 02 03
Temperature:- As temperature Size of the particle:- As the Mass of the particle: As the
increases, the kinetic energy of size of particle increases, rate of mass of the particle increases
the particles increases so the diffusion decreases. the rate of diffusion decreases.
speed of particles also increases
which thus increases the rate of
diffusion.
Experiment 1
 To study diffusion when copper sulphate is brought in contact with water (liquid)
 REQUIREMENT
 Copper sulphate crystals, 100ml beaker.
 PROCEDURE
 Ø Take about 2g of copper sulphate crystals in 100ml beaker.
 Ø Add about 50ml of water and allow it to stand for few minutes.
 Ø Note the development of blue colour in water.
 Ø Allow to stand further till it is observed that all copper sulphate disappears.
 Ø Note the blue colour change in water.
 CONCLUSION
 When solids such as copper sulphate, potassium permanganate are brought in contact with liquids such as water,
intermixing of substances, i.e. diffusion takes place.
Experiment 2
 To study the effect of temperature on the rate of diffusion of solids in liquids
  REQUIREMENTS
 Copper sulphate crystals, 200ml beaker, watch glass, wire gauge, burner, tripod stand, thermometer and stop watch.
 PROCEDURE
 Ø Take 5g of copper sulphate each in three beakers.
 Ø Pour 100ml of distilled water slowly in one of the beakers.
 Ø Cover this beaker with a watch glass.
 Ø Pour 100ml of cold water in a second beaker slowly.
 Ø Place a third beaker containing 100ml of water on a tripod stand for heating.
 Ø Observe the diffusion process which begins in all the beakers.
 Ø Record the time taken for the dissolution of copper sulphate in all the three cases.
 OBSERVATION

 CONCLUSION
 The Rate of diffusion of copper sulphate in water is in the order of Beaker 3 > Beaker 1 > Beaker 2. Thus, the rate of diffusion
varies directly with temperature
Experiment 3
 To study the effect of size of particles on the rate of diffusion of solids in liquids
 REQUIREMENTS
 Graduated 100ml measuring cylinders, copper sulphate crystals of different sizes, stop watch PROCEDURE
 Ø Add 50ml of water to each of the three cylinders.
 Ø Take 5g each of big size, medium size, small size crystals of copper sulphate and add them separately in three cylinders.
 Ø Allow to stand for sometime.
 Ø Note the time taken for blue colour to reach any fixed mark in each of the cylinders and note the observations.
 OBSERVATION

 CONCLUSION
 Small particles undergo diffusion more quickly than bigger particles
Result
 Ø When solids such as copper sulphate, potassium permanganate are brought in contact with
liquid such as water, intermixing of the substances, i.e. diffusion takes place.
 Ø The rate of diffusion varies directly with temperature.
 Ø Small particles undergo diffusion more quickly than bigger particles.
