A 2.0 L bottle contains nitrogen at 30°C and 3.0 atm. The opening of the bottle is closed with a flat plastic plug that is 2.0 cm thick and made of polyethylene. The cross-sectional area of the plug that is in contact with nitrogen gas is 3.0 cm². Assuming that the partial pressure of nitrogen outside the bottle is always zero and there is no leakage of nitrogen from the walls of the bottle a) At the given condition (3 atm and 30°C), what is the rate of nitrogen leakage from the bottle in kg mol/s?[ 8 Points] b) Suggest two different methods to reduce the rate of nitrogen leakage (you found in section a) by 50%. Show your calculations (10 Points] c) Estimate the time required for the pressure of nitrogen inside the bottle to drop from 3.0 atm to 2.0 atm. [10 Points!
