- (a)[12]2:2Calculate the diffusion coefficient of ammonia (NH) in a mixture with the following composition: , and . The mixture is at and 2 bar. The following data are provided for K and bar: and .
- (b)[13]A very thin film of ethanol (A)-water (B) solution, with thickness of 0.4 cm, is at temperature of and one surface of the film is in contact with an organic liquid where the water is insoluble. The ethanol concentration in the interface with the organic liquid is 6.8% w/w and in the other side of the film is 16.8% w/w, with densities of and respectively. If the diffusion coefficient of the ethanol in the organic liquid is , then calculate in the steady state conditions the flux . The molecular weights of ethanol and water are and g/mol respectively.
