cram diffusion Flashcards
diffusion
change in spatial distribution of particles because of random thermal motion
brownian motion
random walk of particles resulting from collision with other particles
particle
- flow rate
- flow density
I = N/t (1/s) J= I/A(1/m^2*s)
matter
- flow rate
- flow density
I=v/t (mol/s)
J=I/A (mol/m^2*s)
ficks first law
Diffusion occurs in response to a concentration gradient expressed as the change in concentration due to a change in position
J = -D*(c/x)
Diffusion coefficient
D gives the amout of matter diffuse over unit area over unit time in case of concentration gradient.
Einstein-Stokes
law for spheres
see stokes in Formula sheet
ficks second law
change of the concentration gradient in time
energy flow density/fourier law for heat conduction
J = E/(A*t)
thermodiffusion -> Ludwig- Soret effect
J = -L * (T/x)
t-high>t low
osmosis
one way diffusion of the solvent. in stead of difference in concentration of solvent there is a hydrostatic/osmotic pressure.
osmotic concentration
The concentration of a solution that keeps balance with a heterogeneous solution.
