Question: Estimate ( in both g c m 2 - s and g m 2 - d units ) the emission of benzene from the surface

Estimate (in both gcm2-s and gm2-d units) the emission of benzene from the surface of a landfill due to diffusion at 30C.(5)
Assume the following conditions:
Saturation benzene vapor concentration =504.6gm3 at 30C
Diffusion coefficient of benzene =0.081cm2s at 30C
Porosity of landfill cover material (clay-loam mixture)=0.15
Landfill cover thickness =0.8m
Scaling factor to account for the actual fraction of trace compound present below landfill cover =0.001
 Estimate (in both gcm2-s and gm2-d units) the emission of benzene
