Exploring Graham's Law of Diffusion in the Respiratory System

The video introduces Planet Graham to explain Graham's law of diffusion. An experiment is set up with oxygen and carbon dioxide in a pot, and an alien with a special nose is used to detect which gas reaches it first. The concept of diffusion is explained, highlighting how molecules move and collide. Graham's law is applied to predict that oxygen, with a lower molecular weight, will diffuse faster than carbon dioxide.
