Fick's law, flux of Geomembrane increased in

A
Concentration across
B
Temperature
C
Increased size of molecule
D
Area
High-Yield Explanation
There is a net flux of solute paicles from areas of high to areas of low concentration. The time required for equilibrium by diffusion is propoionate to the square of the diffusion distance. The magnitude of the diffusing tendency from one region to another is directly propoionate to the cross-sectional area across which diffusion is taking place and the concentration gradient, or chemical gradient, which is the difference in concentration of the diffusing substance divided by the thickness of the boundary(Fick's law of diffusion).Thus,J = -DA Dc/Dxwhere J is the net rate of diffusion, D is the diffusion coefficient, A is the area, and D c/ D x is the concentration gradient.
