Particle theory and diffusion experiment - Chemicals and chaos

 This week in chemicals we are learning about particle theory and diffusion, we are working on what is and how it works. There are 6 rules on particle theory and diffusion:

  1.  All matter is made up of particles
  2. All particles in a pure substance are the same
  3. There is space between all particles
  4. Particles are always moving
  5. There are attractive forces between particles
  6. Temperature affects the speed at which particles move

For this experiment, we are going to put Potassium permanganate into cold and hot water to see which one diffuses faster.  
Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature on the rate of diffusion.
Hypothesis: I think that warm water will diffuse faster than cold water, because of the speed of the heat makes the potassium will move faster.
Conclusion: My conclusion was right because when we put the potassium in both the waters at the same time and the potassium spread straight away when it went into the warm water.
