Question: As shown in Figure 1 , chemical C is diffusing from a bulk liquid into a sediment. The diffusivity of C in both the sediment

As shown in Figure 1, chemical C is diffusing from a bulk liquid into a sediment. The diffusivity
of C in both the sediment and water can be assumed here to be 9.1010-6cm2s. The chemical
concentration at the sediment surface is Cs=2mgL.
a) What is the observed liquid mass transport coefficient for this system based on a bulk
concentration of chemical C=8.5mgL?(10 points)
b) What is the chemical flux into the sediment? (10 points)
c) If L was multiplied by 100, how would the flux change? Explain. (10 points)
 As shown in Figure 1, chemical C is diffusing from a
