What is the effect of molecular weight on diffusion rate ?
Adi S.
Table 2: Speed of Diffusion of Different Molecular Weight Dyes Dye Molecular Weight Total Distance Traveled (mm) Speed of Diffusion (mm/hr) Blue Dye 793 g/mole 30 mm 900 mm/hr Red Dye 496 g/mole 36 mm 1,080 mm/hr *Multiply the total distance diffused by 30 to get the hourly diffusion rate. Post-Lab Questions: 1. Record your hypothesis from Step 3 here. 2. Which dye diffused the fastest? 3. Did the rate of diffusion correspond with the molecular weight of the dye? 4. Did the rate of diffusion change over time? Why or why not?
