In a gas-liquid contactor, a pure gas is absorbed in a solvent, and the penetration theory provides a reasonable model by which to describe the transfer mechanism. As fresh solvent is exposed to the gas, the transfer rate is initially limited by the rate at which the gas molecules can reach the surface. If at 293 K and a pressure of 1 bar, the maximum possible rate of transfer of gas is 50m3/ms, express this as an equivalent resistance, when the gas solubility is 0.04kmol/m. If the diffusivity in the liquid phase is 1.8 x 10-9m2/s, at what time after the initial exposure will the resistance attributable to access of gas be equal to about 10% of the total resistance to transfer
