Investigating how temperature affects the rate of diffusion of a dye in water.
Method
Method to Investigate Temperature Effect on Diffusion
1. Fill three beakers with equal volumes of water at different temperatures: 10°C, 25°C, and 40°C. 2. Add a small crystal of dye to the center of each beaker at the same time. 3. Measure the time taken for the dye to spread across a fixed distance in each beaker. 4. Repeat the experiment three times for each temperature and calculate the average time.
| Temperature (°C) | Time for dye to spread (s) |
|---|---|
| 10 | 120 |
| 25 | 80 |
| 40 | 50 |
