Rate of diffusion can be calculated using Fick's Law of Diffusion, which is given by the formula:
Rate of diffusion = (surface area x concentration difference x membrane permeability) / membrane thickness
Where:
- Surface area is the area of the membrane through which diffusion occurs
- Concentration difference is the difference in concentration of the substance on either side of the membrane
- Membrane permeability is a measure of how easily the substance can pass through the membrane
- Membrane thickness is the distance the substance has to diffuse through the membrane
Therefore, the rate of diffusion depends on these factors and can be calculated using the formula above.
