Due to changes in concentration, microscopic mass transfer of particles like atoms, molecules, and ions occurs through diffusion. It is critical to a number of processes. Diffusion, for instance, can assemble the components of chemical reactions, and it sometimes acts as the process’s rate-limiting phase. The CRE-3301A has a feature for diffusion in liquids. A concentrated salt solution is used to study diffusion in liquids. A U-shaped tube holding the solution contains a disc at one end with a number of vertical capillaries. The disc with the capillaries is positioned below the water’s surface by submerging the U-tube into a tank filled with demineralized water. The salt ions are produced by the concentration gradient between the solution and the water. The ions only flow in one dimension thanks to the capillaries. The presence of a stirrer in the tank prevents concentration variations in the tank by preventing the salt concentration from rising close to the disc. The amount of salt in the tank is measured using a conductivity meter.
