A solid drug pellet with a top-surface susceptible to oxidation is covered with double layers of polyethylene 1.0mm thick and
nylon 0.8mm thick to prevent oxygen contact and kept in a container of 30\deg C.
Assume the oxygen pressure in the container is 0.7atm and that inside the drug is
0.1atm. Estimate the oxygen amount (in moles) that would penetrate into the top-
surface area of drug with 1cm diameter after 1 weeks storage. Use Table 6.5-1
when needed. (30 point)
 A solid drug pellet with a top-surface susceptible to oxidation is
