Component A diffuses through a stagnant gas film which has a thickness of 5 cm in a flat catalyst surface to the surface of the catalyst and it undergoes the instantaneous reaction A(g)->3B(g). Gas B then diffuses from the catalyst surface. The concentration of component A is 0.7 mol/cm3 within the gas film. Assuming the steady state conditions;
a) Derive the concentration profile of the system.
b) Find the molar flux.
