7.1.2 Description
binary mixture, can be done using a device such as the one described below.
The user has a tube of small volume. A filtering cell with a determined
number of pores is put in one of its ends. A concentrated salt solution (sodium
chloride) is put inside. Such tube is put into a container that holds a pure solvent
(distilled water). Here starts the diffusion, which rvill be measured indirectiy from the

This equation represents the so-called Fick's Law of the diffusion. In this
case, the diffusivity D-,, is practically independent from the system's concentration.
The intemational system units for the diffusion kinetic coefficient are [m2 s-
11,
although they are often expressed in [cm2 s-'1. Th" diffusivity numerical values
vary a lot according to the system used. This variation is especially important when
the different aggregation states of the matter are considered. Thus, gases diffusivities
change usually in the interval of lo' to 10, [-t r-'], whereas for the liquids, the
variation is located in the interval covered between l0r0 and l0-e [m2 s-tl. The

diffusivity on solids changes from one system to the other, and their values are much
34 to
more lower; about 10 10-11 [rnt t-t]. The following table shows different
experimental values for the diffusion coefficient.

Notice that, contrary to the case of binary gases mixtures, the diffusion
coefficient for a diluted solution of A in B is not the same than the one corresponding
to a diluted solution of .B in l, since p, Ms and Va will be different when the solute
and the solvent are swapped. For medium concentrations, sometimes the user can
obtain an approximate value of D through the interpolation between the values of the
diluted solutions, but this method leads to important mistakes for the case of non
ideal solutions.

To find the ratio between the concentration of a saline solution and the
conductivity.
Sodium chloride

A precision scale
In this practice, a graph is going to be drawn, which will give the direct
ratio between conductivity and the saline concentration. This table will be very useful
for the following practices, where the user will need that ratio to know the
concentration from the conductimeter.

The cell is filled up with a NaCl 2M solution (1179/l). Fill up the cell
completely and clean any excess of solution from the cell outside and from the
capillary ends using filter paper.
Put the cell in its position within the vessel. Fill up the vessel of the
measurement unit with distilled water (approximately 1.5 L or 2 L). The distilled
water level must sufllass 5 mm the diffusion cell.
