Experiment #7: Diffusion Coefficient

This experiment measured the diffusion coefficient of an unknown solute by tracking its concentration over time using a refractometer. The concentration was measured at intervals as it diffused through water, and the slope of the concentration versus time plot was used to calculate the experimental diffusion coefficient, which was then compared to a reference value to determine percent error.
