Diffusion across a Liquid-Liquid Interface

Abstract

The rate of diffusion of iodine across the liquid-liquid interface between potassium iodide solution and carbon tetrachloride has been investigated. The initial rate of diffusion depends only on the concentration of free iodine in the solution and is not influenced by the iodine combined as I₃^-. There is no initial interfacial resistance to diffusion. me as that for the subsequent reaction.
