a. Yes, this is an example of diffusion because the instant coffee crystals move throughout the water to achieve a uniform concentration when mixed.
b. Yes, this is an example of diffusion because water molecules move into the skin and toenails, causing them to soften.
c. Yes, this is an example of diffusion because the fragrance molecules from the roses spread throughout the room, moving from an area of higher concentration (near the roses) to areas of lower concentration.
b. Yes, this is an example of diffusion because water molecules move into the skin and toenails, causing them to soften.
