**Question #3:**<br /><br />As temperature increases, the dye molecules diffuse more rapidly through the water. This is observed by the faster spreading of the color throughout the container. At lower temperatures, the dye spreads more slowly. This is because temperature is directly related to the kinetic energy of the molecules. Higher temperatures mean the water molecules and the dye molecules are moving faster, leading to more frequent collisions and a faster spread of the dye particles throughout the water. Conversely, at lower temperatures, the molecules move slower, collisions are less frequent, and diffusion takes longer.<br /><br />**Question #4:**<br /><br />After running this model, some questions I have are:<br /><br />* **Quantifying the relationship:** How can we quantify the relationship between temperature and the rate of diffusion? Is it linear, exponential, or some other relationship?<br />* **Other factors:** Besides temperature, what other factors affect the rate of diffusion (e.g., the size and shape of the dye molecules, the viscosity of the liquid)?<br />* **Real-world applications:** How does this model relate to diffusion in real-world systems, such as the diffusion of pollutants in the atmosphere or the absorption of nutrients in the body?<br />* **Limitations of the model:** What are the limitations of this simplified model compared to real-world diffusion processes? Does it accurately represent the complex interactions between molecules?<br />* **Different mediums:** How would the rate of diffusion change if the medium was not water (e.g., a thicker liquid like honey or a gas like air)?<br /><br /><br />
