 Problem II. ( 9 Points) Ethanol gas produced by a prototype

Problem II. ( 9 Points) Ethanol gas produced by a prototype experimental trail is dissolved in a water sink to prevent air contamination. Therefore, the generated Ethanol gas is directed to diffuse in a straight tube 0.2m long containing also Hydrogen at 50C and 1 atm pressure. The partial pressure of Ethanol at the beginning of the diffusion path (close to the prototype) is 0.12atm and 0.02atm at the end of the diffusion path (by the water sink). Hydrogen is not soluble in water and the system is operating under steady state conditions. Calculate the amount of Ethanol dissolving in the water in kg mol/sm2
