Aim:To discover what factors affect the rate of diffusion of potassium permanganate crystals in water.
Statement:What will happen? How will room temperate solutions or heated solutions increase the rate of diffusion of the potassium crystals?Hypothesis:Heat will speed up the process of diffusion because heat will give out energy that will be able to speed up the process of spreading the potassium molecules.
Materials:WaterVinegarPermanganate crystalsBunsen Burner IceGlass beakersSoapy waterProcedure:1.Add water to one beaker. Keep at room temperature. Then add crystals to water. Time how long it takes to diffuse all the crystals. When finished empty and wash beaker.
2.Add water to one beaker. Heat to boiling point temperature. Then add crystals to water. Time how long it takes to diffuse all the crystals. When finished empty and wash beaker.
