Object:

To demonstrate the phenomenon of diffusion.

Requirements:

Beaker, water, copper sulphate crystals.

Method:

Take a clean beaker and fill it completely with water. Place a big crystal of copper sulphate on one side of the beaker (Fig. 1).

Diffusion phenomenon

Observations:

After some time, crystal of copper sulphate disappears and its particles get equally distributed throughout the water.

Results:

Molecules of the copper sulphate move from the region of higher concentration, i.e., crystal, to the region of lower concentration, i.e., water, and thus show the phenomenon of diffusion.
