Question: Trichloroethylene ( A ) transitions from solid to vapor ( sublimates ) while suspended in stagnant air ( B ) at 2 5 deg

Trichloroethylene (A) transitions from solid to vapor (sublimates) while suspended in stagnant air (B) at 25\deg C and atmospheric pressure. This sublimation process occurs at the surface of a solid trichloroethylene sphere with a radius of 4\times 10-3 meters. For trichloroethylene at 25\deg C, the vapor pressure is 1 mmHg, and its diffusivity in air is 8.42\times 10-7 square meters per second. The density of trichloroethylene is 1512 kg/m^3, and its molecular weight is 132 g/mol. Calculate the rate of sublimation(flux) and plot the flux as a function of the radius r
