Gaseous diffusivity at atmospheric pressure is of the order of _____________________ cm2/second?

Correct answer: A. 1

  • A. 1
  • B. 1 to 5
  • C. 5 to 10
  • D. > 10

Explanation

Gas diffusivities at about atmospheric pressure are typically of the order of 1 cm²/s, much larger than liquid diffusivities. Since diffusivity decreases as pressure increases, this order applies specifically near atmospheric pressure.
