Diffusion
Class – XII
"There are times when silence speaks so much more loudly than words of praise to only as
good as belittle a person, whose words do not express, but only put a veneer over true
feelings, which are of gratitude at this point of time."
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my chemistry mentor Mr. Sunil Jangra
, for her vital support, guidance and encouragement - without which this project would not
have come forth. I would also like to express my gratitude to the staff of the Department of
Chemistry at Mahendra Model Sr. Sec. School for their support during the making of this
project.

Aim
Study the Diffusion of Solids in Liquids
Introduction
When substances are brought in contact with each
other, they intermingle with each other. This
phenomenon is known as diffusion. Diffusion takes
place very rapidly in case of gases, to a lesser extent
in case of liquids, and not at all in the case of solids.
However, diffusion of solids in liquids does take
place, albeit at a very slow rate.
Requirements
Copper sulphate (CuSO4) crystals, 100 mL beaker
Procedure
Take about two grams of copper sulphate
crystals in 100 mL beaker.
Add about 50 mL of water and allow it to stand
Conclusion
When solids such as copper sulphate are brought in
contact with liquids such as water, intermingling of
substances, i.e., diffusion takes place.
Experiment 2
To study the effect of temperature on the rate of
diffusion of solids in liquids.
Requirements
Copper sulphate (CuSO4) crystals, three 100 mL
beakers, watch glass, wire gauge, burner, tripod
stand, thermometer, stop watch.
Procedure
Take five gram of copper sulphate each in three
beakers.
Pour 100 mL of distilled water slowly in one of
the beakers.
Cover this beaker with a watch glass.
slowly.
Place a third beaker containing 100 mL of water
the beakers.
Record of copper sulphate the time taken for the
Conclusion
The rate of diffusion of copper sulphate in water is in
the order as given below:
Requirements
Graduated 100 mL measuring cylinders, copper
sulphate (CuSO4) crystals of different sizes, stop
watch.
Procedure
Add 50 mL of water to each of the three
cylinders.
Take five gram each of big size, medium size,
Conclusion
The rate of diffusion of copper sulphate in water is in
the order as given below:
