Question
The following statements concern how to increase the rate of diffusion (in kg/s). All but one of them is true. Which one is not necessarily true? a) Decrease the length of the diffusion channel, keeping constant its cross-sectional area and the difference in solute concentrations between its ends. b) Increase the cross-sectional area of the diffusion channel, and decrease its length, keeping constant the difference in solute concentrations between its ends. c) Increase the cross-sectional area of the diffusion channel, keeping constant its length and the difference in solute concentrations between its ends. d) Increase the difference in solute concentrations between the ends of the diffusion channel, keeping constant its cross-sectional area and its length. e) Increase the cross-sectional area of the diffusion channel, increase the difference in solute concentrations between its ends, and increase its length.Explanation / Answer
answer is e) Increase the cross-sectional area of the diffusion channel, increase the difference in solute concentrations between its ends, and increase its length. because the increase in length may decrease the rate of diffusion.
