Design an experiment to test whether molecular weight does indeed influence the rate of diffusion. Be sure to list all controlled variables.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Controlled variables may include temperature, pH, composition and volume of solvent or medium, amount of solute added. Solutes could be soluble dyes of different molecular weight, and rate of diffusion could be estimated by observing the extent of coloration around a dye crystal at specified intervals.
