Question: Diffusion of C O 2 through Rubber: A flat plug 3 0 m m thick having an area of 4 . 0 1 0 -

Diffusion of CO2 through Rubber: A flat plug 30mm thick having an area of 4.010-4m2 and made of vulcanized rubber is used for closing an opening in a container. The gas CO2 at 25C and 2.0atm pressure is inside the container. Calculate the total leakage or diffusion of CO2 through the plug to the outside in kgmolCO2s at steady state. Assume that the partial pressure of CO2 outside is zero. The solubility of the CO2 gas is 0.90m3 gas (at STP of 0C and 1atm ) per m3 rubber per atm pressure of CO2. The diffusivity is 0.1110-9m2s.
