A solution containing 3.76 x 1023 molecules/m3 of protein in water is separated from pure water by a membrane 3.66 μm thick. Measurements show, on average, that 3.79 x 1011 molecules cross 1.05 m2 of the membrane every second. The diffusion coefficient of the protein can be expressed as "D" x 10-18 m2/s. What is the calculate the value of the number "D". [Answer with 3 sig digits, but do not enter units with your answer]

The small capillaries in the lungs are in close contact with the alveoli. A redblood cell takes up oxygen during the 0.5 s that it squeezes through a capillary at the surface of an alveolus. What is the diffusion time for oxygen across the 1-μm-thick membrane separating air from blood? Assume that the diffusion coefficient for oxygen in tissue is 2 × 10-11 m2/s.
Boston molasses disaster. On January 15, 1919, a vat of molas- ses in Boston's North End burst. A wave of molasses with height 10 m sped through the streets at 16 m/s (about 35 mi/h), killing 21 people and resulting in great property damage . The vat was 15 m high, 27 m in diameter, and held 2.3 x 10° U.S. gal of molasses. In the vat's hasty construction, its soundness had been tested only with water 0.150 m deep. What was the pressure on its wall at the base (a) during the test and (b) when filled with molas- ses with density 1.42 x 10³ kg/m³?

Bacteria have a density that is about the same as water. Their average velocity is 10^-3 m/s. A bacterium with a radius of 1 um should have a diffusion coefficient of about 2.2x10^-13 m^2/s. (a) Find the random-walk step size (b) How long does it take for an average walk to reach 1 mm in seconds and days? Note that we are considering the diffusion away from the starting point and are calculating the distance through three dimensions. Show your work
