Question
Marie has brewed a cup of tea.The particles are evenly spread due to diffusion occurring.What can now be said about the particles in the tea?The tea particles will stop moving as they are evenly spread.The tea particles will continue to move, but remain evenly distributed throughout the cup.The tea particles will diffuse to the bottom of the tea cup.The tea particles will diffuse to the top of the tea cup.
Solution
The tea particles will continue to move, but remain evenly distributed throughout the cup. This is because diffusion is a process that continues until equilibrium is reached. Even after the particles are evenly spread, they continue to move around, but their overall distribution remains the same. This constant movement is due to the kinetic energy of the particles.
