The binary diffusivity in gases and liquids vary respectively as_________________?

Correct answer: A. T3/2 and T

  • A. T3/2 and T
  • B. T and T3/2
  • C. √T and T3/2
  • D. T3/2 and √T

Explanation

Gas-phase binary diffusivity increases approximately as T raised to the 3/2 power at fixed pressure, while liquid diffusivity is commonly approximated as increasing with T when viscosity effects are simplified. Hence the stated trend is T3/2 and T.
