Abstract

The rates of diffusion of chloride and potassium ions were determined using two soil types: Lipa (clayey loam soil) and Luisiana (clayey). The different concentrations of the ions at a constant depth of 5 cm and at different time spans (24, 48, and 72 hours) were measured. As time increases, there was a rapid decrease in the average concentrations of both the Cl and K ions. C was found to be proportional to 1/√t. There was an inverse exponential relationship between the concentration of the ions and time. The study was limited only to a constant depth using only two types of soil and ions in the experiment.
