Nuclear magnetic resonance can be used to determine the mobility of molecules in liquids. A set of measurements on methane in carbon tetrachloride showed that its diffusion coefficient is 2.05 × 10−9 m2 s−1 at 0 °C and 2.89 × 10−9 m2 s−1 at 25 °C. Deduce what information you can about the mobility of methane in carbon tetrachloride.
