Question: For diffusion in binary mixtures, the Fick's Law of Diffusion may be expressed in the following form: j A = - D A B grad

For diffusion in binary mixtures, the Fick's Law of Diffusion may be expressed in the
following form:
jA=-DABgradA
Starting from the above, prove the following:
(a)jA=-(MAMBM2)DABgradxA
(b)gradxA=1cDAB(xANB-xBNA)
(c)vA-vB=-DABln(xAxB)
 For diffusion in binary mixtures, the Fick's Law of Diffusion may
