โฆ Synopsis
The diffusion coefficient of ethanol in a 4 w/w% agarose gel at 25OC was measured, using the methods of unsteady-state diffusion into, and out of, gel beads dispersed in a solution of finite volume. The results (8.0 -9.5x10w6 cm2/s> agreed well with available theory. The results of method "out" were more reproducible than method "in", but the standard deviation was in no case lower than 3.3%.
