Question: Carbon dioxide is diffusing through nitrogen in one direction at atmospheric pressure and 0 C . The mole fraction of C O 2 at point

Carbon dioxide is diffusing through nitrogen in one direction at atmospheric pressure and 0C. The mole fraction of CO2 at point A is 0.2 ; at point B,3m away, in the direction of diffusion, it is 0.02. The concentration gradient is constant over this distance. Diffusivity of CO2 in N2 under the given conditions is 0.144cm2s. The gas phase as a whole is stationary; i.e.,N2 is diffusing at the same rate as the CO2, but in the opposite direction.
a) What is the molal flux of CO2 in kgmolesm2. h?
b) What is the net mass flux in kgm2.h?
 Carbon dioxide is diffusing through nitrogen in one direction at atmospheric
