Diffusion in Liquids and Gases | ReaktiLabX - 01
Product Overview
The Diffusion in Liquids and Gases ReaktiLabX - 01 studies mass transfer through diffusion in both liquid and gas phases. This Diffusion in Liquids and Gases apparatus uses a U-tube with capillaries and conductivity meter for liquid diffusion, and a heated diffusion tube with microscope monitoring for gas diffusion. It supports determination of diffusion coefficients based on Fick's law across both experimental setups. Optional DAQ software enables measurement and calculation of results.

Construction and Design
The Diffusion in Liquids and Gases ReaktiLabX - 01 includes a transparent tank, approximately 6000mL capacity, fitted with a magnetic stirrer operating at 0 to 500rpm with a single stirrer bar, and a conductivity meter ranged 0 to 2000uS/cm with 1uS/cm graduation. A U-tube with 250 to 300 capillaries, 1mm in diameter and 5 to 8mm in length, holds the salt solution for liquid diffusion studies. For gas diffusion, a diffusion tube 4mm in diameter and 100mm in length is submerged in a heated water bath, with a heater rated approximately 300W. A fan, with flow rated 120 to 320L/h, removes gaseous solvent at the tube's upper end. A height-adjustable microscope, with a scale division of 0.1mm, monitors solvent volume in the diffusion tube. A separate display and control unit houses the temperature controller and fan controls.
