Rate of Diffusion Calculator
💧 Diffusion, osmosis & transport. Use the Rate of diffusion (distance) formula to find rate, distance, time: pick the value you want, type the others, and the answer updates as you go.
Rate0.5 mm/min
Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.
What each letter means
| Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|
| Rate | mm/min |
| Distance | mm |
| Time | min |
Worked example
Find the rate when Distance = 10 mm, Time = 20 min.
Using rate = (distance moved)/time: Rate = 0.5 mm/min.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for Rate of diffusion (distance)?
rate = (distance moved)/time.
What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?
Rate in mm/min, Distance in mm, Time in min.
How do you calculate rate?
Put the values into rate = (distance moved)/time. For example, with Distance = 10 mm, Time = 20 min, rate = 0.5 mm/min.
Can I solve for a different value?
Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (rate, distance, time) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
