calculate the rate of consumption of oxygen in the process (in units of moles per minute), assuming the process is at steady state.
The progress of a laboratory reaction to synthesize particles is measured by the amount of oxygen consumed in the process.Particle synthesis occurs in the liquid phase, inside a 3-liter synthesis vessel. Pure oxygen is bubbled through the liquid at a rate of 8g/min.The synthesis vessel is sealed, except for averticaloutlettube that allows unreacted oxygento exit. Inside the tube, the oxygen passesa soap solutionandformsa thin film across the 20-mm inner diameter of the tube, which gets pushed upwards by the flow of oxygen.The exit flow rate of oxygen may be measured by observing the time required for the film to traverse the distance between calibration marks of known distance. During one experiment, the temperature inside the synthesis vessel is26°C and thepressure gauge reads30mmHg. If it takes the film 3seconds to travel 30 cm, calculate the rate of consumption of oxygen in the process (in units of moles per minute), assuming the process is at steady state.
