Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Diffusion is the process whereby molecules move from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
For the density of a gas mixture to be calculated, the percentage or fraction of each gas in the mixture must be known. For example, to calculate the density of air at STPD, the following equation is used:
dwair = (FN2 gmw N2) + (FO2 gmw O2) 22.4 L
dwair = (0.79 28) + (0.21 32) 22.4 L
dwair = 1.29 g/L
