Question: Gas A is diffusing from the bulk gas phase to the catalyst surface, where it reacts instantaneously and irreversibly in a heterogeneous reaction as follows:

Gas A is diffusing from the bulk gas phase to the catalyst surface, where it reacts instantaneously and irreversibly in a heterogeneous reaction as follows:
A->0.5B
Gas B then diffuses back out gas film to the main stream composed of A
and B. Assume the appropriate concentration of A and B across the film thickness (d).
Obtain the expression of molar flux of A through the film.
