All gases diffuse to a homogenous phase.

Yes, both hydrogen and oxygen are gases at room temperature and pressure, so they can diffuse easily in air. Diffusion is the process by which gases mix due to the random motion of their particles.
Yes, hydrogen and oxygen can exhibit diffusion when they are in gaseous states and are in contact with each other. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, so in a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases, they would naturally diffuse and mix with each other over time.
Hydrogen atoms are smaller and lighter than oxygen and carbon atoms, making them move faster and diffuse more quickly. Additionally, hydrogen gas molecules exhibit greater kinetic energy and collisions with other molecules, which contributes to their faster diffusion rate compared to oxygen and carbon.
Hydrogen will diffuse faster than methane because hydrogen molecules are smaller and lighter, allowing them to move more easily through a medium. Additionally, hydrogen has a lower molecular weight than methane, further contributing to its faster diffusion rate.
Oxygen molecules diffuse across the alveolar membrane in the lungs into the bloodstream. This is where gas exchange occurs, with oxygen moving from the alveoli into capillaries surrounding the alveoli.
No, hydrogen and oxygen are two separate elements. Hydrogen is a chemical element that exists as H2 molecules, while oxygen exists as O2 molecules. Water (H2O) is formed when hydrogen combines with oxygen.
