Question: Derive an equation for the diffusion coefficient D in terms of V 1 , V 2 , C 1 , C 2 , C 1

Derive an equation for the diffusion coefficient D in terms of V1, V2, C1,
C2, C10, C20, k, l, A and t for a diffusion cell as illustrated in FigQ3
where the volume of the donor chamber is V1 and the receptor is V2, t
is time, C1 is concentration of drug in donor chamber at time t>0, C2 is
concentration of drug in receptor chamber at time t>0, C10 is
concentration of drug in donor chamber at time t=0, C20 is concentration
of drug in receptor chamber at time t=0, k is the partition coefficient, l is
the membrane thickness, A is the cross sectional area of the membrane,
and t is time.
