Look at the diagram on the right side. Jar A contains a red-brown gas whereas jar B contains a colourless gas. The two gas jars are separated by a galas plate placed between them
(a) What will happen when the glass plate between the two jars is pulled away?(b) What name is given to the phenomenon which takes place?(c) Name the brown gas which could be in jar A.(d) Which is the colourless gas most likely to be present in jar B?(e) Name one coloured solid and one colourless liquid which can show the same phenomenon."
(a) When the glass plate between the two jars is pulled away, red-brown gas will diffuse from jar A into colourless jar B and vice versa, due to which the red-brown colour will spread into jar B.
(b) The phenomenon occurring here is diffusion.
Diffusion is the process whereby gaseous atoms and molecules are transferred from regions of relatively high concentration to regions of relatively low concentration.
(c) Bromine vapour could be in jar A as bromine is reddish-brown in colour.
(d) Air can be the colourless gas present in jar B.
(e) Potassium permanganate (coloured solid) and water (colourless liquid) also show the same phenomenon.

- A student placed a gas jar containing air in the upside-down position over a gas jar full of red-brown bromine vapours. He observed that the red-brown colour spread upwards into the jar containing air. Based on this observation, the student concluded that it is only the bromine vapour which moves up and diffuses into the air in the upper jar, the air from the upper jar does not move down by diffusion into the lower jar containing bromine vapours. Do you agree with this conclusion of the student? Give a reason for your answer.
