 Separation Process Water is flowing past one of the rectangular sides

Separation Process Water is flowing past one of the rectangular sides of a slab of benzoic acid. The surface area exposed to water is 0.01 m2 and it is estimated that in 600 seconds, 5 x 10^-4 kg of benzoic acid is lost from the slab by dissolution. If the molecular weight of benzoic acid is 121.1 kg/kg-mol, calculate its average molar flux. If the solubility of benzoic acid in water is 0.2 kg/m3, what is its mass transfer coefficient? Assume that the concentration of benzoic acid in the bulk flowing water is negligible
