I can turn the heat down and it will cook slower – might even be better.
If I go any slower he might die before I get there.
Their bite is therefore less dangerous and the effect on the general system slower, so that there is more prospect of recovery by treatment.
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.
