Knudsen diffusion is directly proportional to _____________________?

Correct answer: B. √T

  • A. T
  • B. √T
  • C. 1/√T
  • D. T2

Explanation

Knudsen diffusivity is controlled by molecular-wall collisions and varies as the mean molecular speed. Since molecular speed is proportional to the square root of absolute temperature, D_K is proportional to √T.
