The solute hydrochloric acid (A) is diffusing through a thin film of water (B) 2.0 mm thick at 283 K. The concentration of hydrochloric acid at point 1 at one boundary of the film is 12.0 wt% hydrochloric acid (density, p₁ = 1060.7 kg/m³), and at the boundary at point 2 it is 6.0 wt% hydrochloric acid (p2 = 1030.3 kg/m³). The diffusion coefficient of hydrochloric acid in water is 2.5 x 10-⁹ m²/s. Assuming steady state and one boundary impermeable to water, calculate the flux of hydrochloric acid in kg mol/s m².
