A gas A is diffusing at a constant rate through a layer of stagnant gas B,1mm thick. Conditions are such that the gas contains 50mol%A at one boundary of the stagnant layer. A diffusing to the other boundary is quickly absorbed and the concentration is negligible at that plane. The temperature is 295K and the pressure atmospheric (101.325kPa), and under these conditions the diffusivity of A in B,DAB is 0.18cm2s. Estimate the rate of diffusion of ammonia through the layer.
