I think this next picture will help you
This top section is the peak concentration,

right in the center of the cloud and it starts out at

hours it is 10%, This lower f

shows the heicht of the spherical shells that contain a

certain fraction of the initial materials.

You will ne

that the 10% line immediately starts to contract due to

the dilution of the cloud and it disappears in

The 1%

slowly starts to contract and these other ones are still

This is the type of

diffusion picture we have used and now lets go back and Look
at this one again.
VOICE:

How do you compute thia?

BAPPs

This comes out of the Fickian diffusion law.

Ve used a

diffusion coefficient of approximately 105 centissters
second and this is siaply the solution to the equation.
