Small crystals of purple KMnO₄ and orange K₂Cr₂O₇ were placed at the centers of separate Petri dishes filled with agar jelly. They were left to stand under the same physical conditions. After some time, the color of each substance had spread out as shown.

The lengths of the arrows indicate the relative distances traveled by particles of each substance. Which process causes this to happen?

• Brownian motion

• Condensation

• Diffusion

• Filtration

If you put some pollen grains into a drop of water on a microscope slide, they float. When you look through the microscope, you will see that the pollen grains are moving about. They jiggle about in random directions. You will see the same effect if you sprinkle some dust on the water. What is the process of the occasion above?

• Diffusion

• Brownian Motion

• Molecular Motion

• Collision Motion

When you make tea, particles from the tea leaves diffuse into the water. You can make the tea stronger and darker by adding more tea leaves. On this occasion, which factor speed up diffusion?
