1. At the Streets Lab, we are investigating the dynamic diffusion process of a novel therapeutic agent, Azulene, across a specialized synthetic membrane in a controlled laboratory setting. Initially, at t < 0, the Azulene concentration throughout the membrane's structure is maintained at zero to ensure experimental accuracy. At the precise moment when t = 0, both faces of the membrane find themselves simultaneously exposed to a uniformly stirred bath containing Azulene at a steadfast concentration of 5×107 mol/L. The partition coefficient is PM=0.9, indicating the equilibrium distribution of Azulene between the membrane and the surrounding bath. The membrane itself, a product of advanced synthetic engineering, measures a total thickness of 1.8 cm. Azulene's movement through this medium is characterized by a diffusivity constant of 6.2 x 106 cm²/s. For the Consider that the laboratory's ambient temperature is controlled at 25°C, although the temperature's effect on the diffusion process is assumed negligible for the scope of this problem. Also, the membrane's surface is treated with a non-reactive, hydrophobic coating to minimize external variables, although this treatment does not alter the partition coefficient or diffusivity of Azulene. a) (2 points) Calculate teritical where n = 3 for treating the membrane from either side as a semi-infinite medium under these conditions. b) (2 points) Assuming a semi-infinite medium, determine the concentration (in mol/L) of Azulene precisely 0.15 mm from the membrane edges in contact with the baths at specific moments: 4.0 minutes and 8.0 minutes. Disregard the hydrophobic coating's presence for these calculations as it has no effect on Azulene's diffusion. q= C₁ - Co FMC₁ -Co c) (2 points) Under the semi-infinite medium assumption, estimate the total amount of Azulene permeating into a membrane section with a surface area of 20 cm² during the initial 24-hour exposure period to the bath (expressed in mol). Consider the membrane's advanced synthetic nature and hydrophobic treatment as non-factors in this calculation. d) (2 points) Establish the theoretical maximum quantity of Azulene that the membrane could absorb. Evaluate whether the semi-infinite medium assumption leads to an overestimation or underestimation in your answer for part (c). In a concise explanation of no more than 80 words, justify your reasoning, taking into account the advanced engineering and surface treatment of the membrane as elements that do not materially impact the diffusion process's fundamental principles. 1.
