dc.description.abstractTwo methods to measure the diffusion coefficient of a species in a liquid by optical interferometry were compared. The methods were tested on a 1.75 M NaCl aqueous solution diffusing into water at 26 degrees C. Results were D = 1.587 x 10(-9) m(2) s(-1) with the first method and D = 1.602 x 10(-9) m(2) s(-1) with the second method. Monte Carlo simulation was used to assess the possible dispersion of these results. The standard uncertainties were found to be of the order of 0.05 x 10(-9) m(2) s(-1) with both methods. We found that the value of the diffusion coefficient obtained by either method is very sensitive to the magnification of the optical system, and that if diffusion is slow the measurement of time does not need to be very accurate.
