Question: Liquid hexane ( A ) is placed in a vertical glass tube of inside diameter 0 . 9 5 c m . The tube is

Liquid hexane (A) is placed in a vertical glass tube of inside diameter 0.95cm. The tube is closed at the bottom and open, at the top, to air (B) flowing at a uniform pressure of 0.94atm. The tube assembly is immersed in a constant temperature bath maintained at 19C. The hexane evaporates and diffuses through the air column in the tube. The loss volume of liquid hexane is 1.0cm3 in 85hr. The initial length of air column above the hexane surface is 15.8cm. Please use these information to calculate diffusion coefficient DAB(cm2s) at 19C. The vapor pressure of hexane at 19C is 1.5104Pa and the density of liquid hexane (C6H14) is 0.66gcm3.
