Question: explain this and why some variables were taken out Diffusion rate x D X A x APgas X ASgas X x VMW D = diffusion

explain this and why some variables were taken out

Diffusion rate x D X A x APgas X ASgas X x VMW D = diffusion coefficient A = the cross-sectional area P = partial pressure gradient S = solubility of gas in fluid X = diffusion distance MW = molecular weight of gas Fick's Law - used to describe diffusion rate: [02] is proportional to p02 at constant temperature (amount of O2 that dissolves in liquid is determined by p02 and solubility of liquid) Diffusion rate x D X A x AP gas X ASgas Air: ID X x VMW Water: JD
