Question: The diffusion constant for a particular ion crossing a 6 2 . 0 0 nm thick artificial membrane is 1 . 2 5 x 1

The diffusion constant for a particular ion crossing a 62.00 nm thick artificial membrane is 1.25 x 10-16m2/s. The membrane has a surface area of 1.00 x10-15m2. On one side of the membrane is pure water and on the other side is a solution 0.400 x 103 mol/m3 of the ions. Initially, what is the number of ions crossing the membrane per second? (Provide a positive number)
