Question 1.
What is diffusion?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how a drop of food dye behaves in water.
Question 2.
Define porosity.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the water retention capability of soil.
3Question 3.
What does diffusion result in?
- Movement from low to high concentration
- Movement from high to low concentration
- No movement
Show hintHide hint
Remember the food dye example!
4Question 4.
True or False: Effective diffusivity is unrelated to porosity.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how fluids navigate through porous materials.
Question 5.
A soil sample has a porosity of 0.4. If the diffusion coefficient for a substance in the fluid is 1.0 cm²/s, calculate its effective diffusion coefficient using the Millington-Quirk equation.
Show hintHide hint
Remember to apply the Millington-Quirk formula correctly.
Question 6.
Discuss how increasing porosity in a material affects the transport of a pollutant over time.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the ease of moving through a denser versus a less dense medium.
