Q1: A layer of benzene 1.5 mm thick deep lies at the bottom of an open tank 5 mm in diameter. The temperature is 295 k and the diffusivity of benzene in air is 8 x 10* m'/s at this temperature. If the vapor pressure of benzene in the tank is 13.4 KN/m and the diffusion may be assumed to take place through a stagnant air 2.5 mm thick. Determine (1): the molar rate of diffusion with respect to Z (2): how long will take benzene to evaporate. Given the density of benzene is 880 kg/m' and molecular weight is 78.
