This DIffusion and Molecular Mass interactive also includes:
Does molecular mass affect the rate of diffusion? The simulation allows scholars to experiment with diffusion while varying the molecular mass and temperature. The timer automatically stops when a certain point is reached, making it easy to compare results.

Instructional Ideas
- Discuss different molecules that interact this way based on their sizes
- Use this as an introduction to moles
Classroom Considerations
- Builds off previous simulations on molecular diffusion and temperature
Pros
- Includes the option to trace the movement of one molecule
- Works well as a large group demonstration, small groups in a computer lab, or even as homework in a flipped classroom
Cons
- None
