The diffusion coefficient D12 of NH3 in air is about 0.219 cm2/s at normal atmospheric pressures and room temperature. A container of ammonia is opened at the front of a lecture hall. Assuming that the air is perfectly still and that diffusion alone accounts for the transport of NH3 in the air, how long before ammonia molecules can be expected to diffuse 20.0 m away from the source?
