The diffusion constant for the amino acid glycine in water is 1.06 × 109 m²/s. In a 2.0-cm-long tube with a cross-sectional area of 1.8 10-4 m², the mass rate of diffusion is m/t = 4.2 x 10-14 kg/s, because the glycine concentration is maintained at a value of 8.7 x 10-3 kg/m³ at one end of the tube and at a lower value at the other end. What is the lower concentration?

Calculate the distance olive oil (a lipid) could move in a membrane in 9 seconds assuming the diffusion coefficient is 1 um?/s. Use the equation S = (4Dt)2 where S is distance traveled, t is time, and D is the diffusion coefficient. distance:
A student dissolves a Jefferson nickel to make 100.00 mL of solution in a volumetric flask. The student takes a 5.00 mL aliquot of the first solution and dilutes it to make 100.00 mL of a second solution. The student places a sample of the second solution in a cuvette for analysis using spectrophotometry. The molarity of the copper solution in the cuvette was determined by spectrophotometric analysis to be 2.90 x 10-2 M Cu. Calculate the mass of copper in the Jefferson nickel used to make the first solution. Use the diagram to help visualize the dilution process. WE IN GOD TRUST 100 mL LIBERTY 200 5 mL 100 mL cuvette
Archimedes, a famous Greek scientist, was given a problem by King Hieron II of Syracuse (Sicily). The king suspected that his crown, which was supposed to be made of pure gold, contained some silver alloy, and he asked Archimedes to prove or disprove his suspicion. (It turned out that the crown did not contain silver.) How would you experimentally determined whether or not the crown was pure gold? (Hint: The method came to Archimedes when getting into a full bathtub. See the footnote in Experiment 22 for Archimedes’ solution.)

In Experiment 1, two chemical compounds are introduced. Sodium hydroxide, or NaOH, is a basic compound, with a molecular weight of about 40 g/mol. Phenolphthalein is a colored indicator that turns pink in the presence of a base. Its molar mass is almost eight times the mass of sodium hydroxide, at about 318 g/mol. Based on what you know about diffusion, which hypothesis best describes which molecule is more likely to move across the semipermeable membrane in this process?
A certain liquid X has a normal boiling point of 107.80°C and a boiling point elevation constant Kb=1.02·°C·kgmol−1. A solution is prepared by dissolving some glycine (C2H5NO2) in 800.g of X. This solution boils at 109.1°C. Calculate the mass of C2H5NO2 that was dissolved. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
