[edit] Diffusion is a spontaneous process that is NOT a chemical reaction
See Diffusion: The process of diffusion, therefore, minimizes thermodynamic Gibbs free energy (though, it is not a chemical reaction), and is thus a spontaneous process (more familiarly known as a "passive" form of transport, rather than "active"). [emphasis added] I'm not sure how this should be reconciled. Should "spontaneous process" be changed to "spontaneous phenomenon" in the Diffusion entry, or should the Spontaneous Process entry be changed to incorporate diffusion? For now, I am simply going to link the entries. --Nick 09:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
