Master The Science: Calculating The Rate Of Diffusion With Precision
The rate of diffusion, quantifying the movement of substances across a concentration gradient, is calculated using Fick’s First Law: J = -D(dC/dx)t. Here, J represents the rate of substance transfer, D is the diffusion coefficient (substance-specific), dC/dx is the concentration gradient, and t is the time. Factors influencing diffusion include surface area (facilitating transfer), distance…
