Calculate the rate of diffusion of acetic acid (A) across a film of non-diffusing water (B) solution 1 mm thick at 17 ° C when the concentrations on the opposite sides of the film are 9 and 3 weight % respectively. Densities of 9 and 3 wt% solutions are 1012 and 1003 kg / m³. The diffusivity of acetic acid in the solution is 0.95 x 10-⁹ m² /s.
