Question: Pure gas A is diffusing from a point 1 at a partial pressure of 1 atm. to a point 2 at a distance 1 .

Pure gas A is diffusing from a point 1 at a partial pressure of 1
atm. to a point 2 at a distance 1.0 mm away. At point 2 it undergoes instantaneous chemical reaction at the catalytic surface as A-3B Gas B diffusing back at the steady state. The total pressure is 1 atm, and temperature is 27C. The molecular diffusivity, DAB 1.5x10-5 m2/s. Calculate molar flux of A (kg mol/m2 s) at steady state.
