Explore the concepts of solutions and diffusion in chemistry. Learn about solutes, solvents, equilibrium, osmosis, and diffusion processes. Understand how molecules move across concentration gradients and reach equilibrium. Witness simple diffusion in action.

Solution • a solution is a mixture composed of two or more substances • In such a mixture, a solute is dissolved in another substance, known as a solvent.
Solute • The substance which dissolves in a solution
Solvent • The substance which dissolves another to form a solution. • For example, in a sugar and water solution, water is the solvent; sugar is the solute.
equilibrium • Chemical equilibrium, the state in which the concentrations of the reactants and products have no net change over time. • Diffusion equilibrium, when the concentrations of the diffusing substance in the two compartments are equal.
Osmosis • is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by a difference in solute. • A selectively permeable membrane is one that allows unrestricted passage of water, but not solute molecules or ions.
Diffusion • the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration, to areas of low concentration. • When the molecules are even throughout a space - it is called EQUILIBRIUM. • concentration gradient - a difference between concentrations in a space.
