Question:

The diffusivity of toluene in air was determined experimentally by allowing liquid toluene to vaporize isothermally into air from a partially filled vertical tube 3 mm in diameter. At a temperature of 39.4oC, it took 96 x l04 s for the level of the toluene to drop from 1.9 cm below the top of the open tube to a level of 7.9 cm below the top. The density of toluene is 0.852 g/cm3, and the vapor pressure is 57.3 torr at 39.4oC. The barometer reading was 1 atm. Calculate the diffusivity and compare it with the value predicted from (3-36). Neglect the counterdiffusion of air.
