Show hintHide hint
Think about how many particles are moving through a specific area.
Question 2.

Show hintHide hint
Recall how particles behave between high and low concentrations.
3Question 3.
What does Fick's Law describe?
- Pressure changes
- Diffusion processes

Think about how syrup flows compared to water.
Question 5.
Given a specific diffusion coefficient, calculate the time it would take for a pollutant to diffuse 2 meters through a medium. Assume steady state applies.
Show hintHide hint
Identify how distance and diffusion coefficient interact.
Question 6.
Compare the mass transfer rates of two solvents with differing molecular weights and densities. Analyze how the differences impact environmental outcomes.
