Show hintHide hint
Think about how substances move through soils.
Question 2.
Define the local equilibrium assumption.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how quickly changes happen in both phases.
3Question 3.
What does Millington Quirk's expression calculate?
- Effective diffusion rate

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the speed of water movement versus the rate of molecular interactions.
Question 5.
