Experiment 2: Diffusion Rate Visualisation

This experiment visualises the diffusion rates of different gases, demonstrating how molecular weight affects the speed at which gases spread. You can observe diffusion with and without buoyancy effects:

  • Without Buoyancy: Observe pure diffusion based solely on molecular motion.
  • With Buoyancy: See how gases with different densities move when buoyancy forces are applied (lighter gases rise, heavier gases sink).

Select different gases and toggle between modes to compare diffusion behaviours.
