Radon gas has a diffusivity of 0.12 cm^2/s into air at 20ºC. If the air temperature is raised to 30ºC, what would you expect the diffusivity to be?
What will be an ideal response?
If radon is assumed to behave as an ideal gas, then from Equation 8-24, the diffusivity is
a function of the 3/2 power of temperature, so that
