State whether the following statement is true or false :
Red-brown bromine vapour diffuse into air in a gas jar but the colourless air molecules do not diffuse into bromine vapour.

Solution

The statement given here is false. Air also diffuses into the bromine vapour but because air is colourless, we are not able to see its movement.

When a gas jar containing air is inverted over a gas jar containing bromine vapour, the red-brown bromine vapour diffuse into air. Explain how bromine vapour diffuse into air.

Q. A student placed a gas jar containing air in the upside down position over a gas jar full of red-brown bromine vapours. He observed that the red-brown colour spread upwards into the jar containing air. Based on this observation, the student concluded that it is only the bromine vapour which moves up and diffuses into air in the upper jar, the air from the upper jar does not move down by diffusion into the lower jar containing bromine vapours. Do you agree with this conclusion of the student? Give reason for your answer.
