Calculate the expected flux of a pollutant in water if its concentration gradient between the sediment and water is known, considering a diffusion coefficient of 0.1 m²/s.
💡 Hint: Remember that the negative sign indicates direction; focus on the concentration gradient.
Assess how changing the density of water from 1g/cm³ to 0.5g/cm³ would impact the diffusion rate of a pollutant.
💡 Hint: Compare the movement of a ping pong versus a bowling ball in water.
