Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gases diffuse down a partial pressure gradient, which means they move from higher concentrations of pressure to lower concentrations of pressure. This is because gases naturally spread out to fill any available space, and will move from areas of higher pressure (i.e. more particles in a given area) to areas of lower pressure (i.e. fewer particles in a given area) until the pressure is equalized.
