Question: A capillary, closed at the bottom and open at the top has a length of 1 0 c m and a diameter of 1 m

A capillary, closed at the bottom and open at the top has a length of 10cm and a diameter of 1mm. The bottom 9cm are filled with water (density 1000kgm3, molar mass 18gmol). Due to heating, the water vapor concentration at the water surface is 2molm3. The water vapor concentration at the top of the capillary is 1molm3. The evaporation is driven by the diffusion of water vapor out of the capillary, which causes the water surface to go down. Assume a diffusivity of 210-5m2s.
