Which law states that the amount of a substance crossing a given area is directly proportional to the area available for diffusion, concentration gradient and diffusion coefficient?
Correct Answer: Fick's law
Description: Fick Law of Diffusion:
Diffusion is well described by Fick law of diffusion. According to this law, amount of a substance crossing a given area is directly proportional to the area available for diffusion, concentration gradient and a constant known as diffusion coefficient.
Thus,
Amount diffused = Area x Concentration gradient x Diffusion coefficient
Formula of Fick law:
