Diffusivity of 3He, 4He, H2, D2, Ne, CH4, Ar, Kr, and CF4 in (C4F9)3N

Abstract
An earlier paper from this laboratory reported that diffusion coefficients of gases in CCl4 multiplied by their molecular cross sections are the same for gases heavier than Ne, but that they increase linearly from D2 to 4He with the square of the de Boer quantum parameter A*. The present study of gases in (C4F9)3N includes 3He. For relative cross sections we use, instead of uncertain values of σ2, the 23 power of the critical volumes, Vc, accurately known from critical densities. Measured values conform to the equation 102DVc2/3 = 70(1+1.94Λ*2) . Diffusion coefficients in CCl4, multiplied by Vc2/3 yield 102DVc2/3 = 70(1+3.00Λ*2) . The relative steepness of the two quantum lines is 3.00 ÷ 1.94 = 1.60 , exactly the same as the ratio of the internal pressures of the two liquids, 3350/2160.
