Example (H.W): A tube 1 cm inside diameter that is 20 cm long is filled with CO2 and H2 at
a total pressure of 2 atm at 0°C. The diffusion coefficient of the CO2 - H2 system under these
conditions is 0.275 cm2/sec. If the partial pressure of CO2 is 1.5 atm at one end of the tube and
0.5 ațm at the other end, find the rate of diffusion for:
i) Steady state equimolar counter diffusion (NA = - NB)
ii) Steady state counter diffusion where NB = -0.75 NA, and ana NB =
iii) Steady state diffusion of CO2 through stagnant H2 (NB = 0).
