I can turn the heat down and it will cook slower – might even be better.
Their bite is therefore less dangerous and the effect on the general system slower, so that there is more prospect of recovery by treatment.
If I go any slower he might die before I get there.
On the left, towards which the slower ion moves, only three molecules remain - a loss of four.
We can therefore calculate the rate at which the salt as a whole will diffuse by examining the conditions for a steady transfer, in which the ions diffuse at an equal rate, the faster one being restrained and the slower one urged forward by the electric forces.
