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,
at a very slow rate.
If a solid is kept in contact with excess of solvent in

which it is soluble, some portion of the solid gets
dissolved. This process is known as dissolution of a
solid in liquid, and it takes place due to the diffusion of
solid particles into liquid medium.
Molecules of solute are in constant random motion due

to the collision between molecules of solute and that of
the solvent. It is this physical interaction between
solute-solvent particles that leads to diffusion.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To Study the Diffusion of Solids in Liquids
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. ... This process is known as dissolution of a
solid in liquid, and it takes place due to the diffusion of
solid particles into liquid medium
To demonstrate that rate of diffusion depends upon the

following factors:
Temperature: As temperature increases, the kinetic

energy of the particles increases. Thus, the speed of
particles also increases, which in turn increases the rate
of diffusion.
Size of the particle: As the size of particle increases,
rate of diffusion decreases. This is because the particles
become less mobile in the solvent.
Mass of the particle: As the mass of the particle
increases, the rate of diffusion decreases; as the particle
becomes less mobile.
EXPERIMENT – 1
Aim: To study diffusion when copper sulphate is
brought in contact with water (liquid).
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 for
few Minutes.
 Note the development of blue colour in water.
 Allow to stand further till it is observed that all
copper sulphate disappears
 Note the blue colour change in water
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
Aim : 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.
 Pour 100 mL of cold water in a second beaker
slowly.
 Place a third beaker containing 100 mL of water on a
tripod stand for heating
 Observe the diffusion process which begins in all the
beakers.
 Record of copper sulphate the time taken for the
dissolution of copper sulphate in three cases
Observations :
S.No. Tempreature of water Time Taken to Diffuse
1 10° 18 minutes
2 25° 15 minutes
3 70° 7 minutes
Conclusion :
The rate of diffusion of copper sulphate in water is in
the order as
given below:
Beaker 3 > Beaker 2 > Beaker 1
Thus, the rate of diffusion varies directly with
temperature.
EXPERIMENT – 3
Aim : To study the effect of size of particles on the rate
of diffusion of solids in liquids.
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, small
size
crystals of copper sulphate, and add them separately in
three cylinders
 Allow to them to stand for sometime.
 Note the time taken for blue colour to reach any fixed
mark in each of cylinders and note the observations.
Observation :
S.No Crystal size Time Taken to Diffuse
1 Big 19 Minutes
2 Medium 13 Minutes
3 Small 5 Minutes
Conclusion : The rate of diffusion of copper sulphate in

water is in the order as
given below:
Beaker 3 > Beaker 2 > Beaker 1
Thus, smaller particles undergo diffusion more quickly
than bigger
particles
RESULT
 When solids such as copper sulphate are

brought in contact with liquids such as water,
intermingling of substances, i.e., diffusion takes
place.
 The rate of diffusion varies directly with
temperature.
 Small particles undergo diffusion more quickly
than bigger particles.
