Question: Controlling diffusional resistance water drops 2 mm in diameter are being oxygenated by falling freely through pure oxygen at 20C and a pressure of 1

Controlling diffusional resistance water drops 2 mm in diameter are being oxygenated by falling freely through pure oxygen at 20°C and a pressure of 1 atm. Do you need to know the gas-phase diffusivity to calculate the rate of oxygen transport? Why? The solubility of oxygen under these conditions is 1.39mmols/liter, and its diffusivity in the liquid phase is about 2.1 x 10-5 cm2/s.
