Question: Dab for acetone is 0 . 1 1 * 1 0 ^ ( - 4 ) m ^ 2 / s . Acetone vapor diffuses

Dab for acetone is 0.11*10^(-4) m^2/s. Acetone vapor diffuses across a film of air 0.19 cm thick at 0\deg C. The partial pressure of acetone on one side of the film is 0.08 atm and zero on the other. Determine the rate of diffusion (molar flux) if the total pressure is 14.7 atm. Advection may be neglected, and the components of the system may be modeled as ideal gases. Report your answer in mmol m-2 s-1 with 2 decimal point accuracy. (R =8.314 J mol-1 K-1=82.06 cm3 atm mol-1 K-1)
