Question: The solute H C l ( A ) is diffusing through a thin film of water ( B ) 2 . 0 m m thick

The solute HCl(A) is diffusing through a thin film of water (B)2.0mm thick at 283K. The concentration of HCL at point 1 at one boundary of the film is 12.0wt%HCl(density 1=1060.7kgm3) and at the other boundary at point 2 it is )=(1030.3kgm3. The diffusion coefficient of HCl in water is 2.510-9m2s. Let us assume that it is steady state and one boundary impermeable to water.
a. Draw the schematic diagram showing the above conditions.
b. Is it equimolar or unimolar diffusion case?
c. Convert the concentration of HCl in terms of mole fraction.
d. Write down the equation to calculate the flux of HCl.
e. Calculate the flux of HCl in kg*mols*m2.
