Methane diffuses in water at 25°C 3/5 as fast as it does in carbon tetrachloride. Since diffusivity depends mainly upon temperature, viscosity of the solvent, and molecular cross section of the diffusant, and since viscosities of H2O and CCl4 at 25°C are almost identical, one may infer that molecules of CH4 in H2O are not imprisoned in “icebergs,” and are retarded only by hydrogen bonds, not by encounters with “ice-like” aggregates.
