You have been tasked with assessing the diffusion coefficient (D) of a new chemical. To do so, you experiment with a tank that is 40cm depth. You spread 100g of the chemical uniformly over the tank's surface at a depth of 20cm and track its development over a period. The chart below illustrates the vertical profiles of chemical concentration in the tank (the x-axis displays depth and the y-axis displays concentrations).
a) Using the graph, calculate the diffusion coefficient of the chemical, D.(15 points)
b) Determine when the tank's borders will have an impact on the chemical's vertical distribution
