Does potassium permanganate diffuse more rapidly through water or through agar gel? Why? It diffuses more rapidly through water, because there are no particles to slow the movement of dye. The pore size of the dialysis sac used in our experiment determines which molecules can pass.
Which dye do you think will diffuse faster through the agar and why?
Based on this information, which dye do you think diffused faster through the agar, and why? a. Methylene blue had a higher molecular weight, so it was able to diffuse more rapidly spreading farther through the agar in the same time.
Why does potassium permanganate diffuse faster than methylene blue in agar?
There is a substantial difference in molecular weight between Methylene Blue (320 g/mol) and Potassium Permanganate (158 g/mol). The combined molecules present in Potassium Permanganate are lighter than those in Methylene Blue, and therefore should allow it to diffuse more rapidly.
