We are able to look at the stagnant liquid film around a bubble rising through a bioreactor. The diffusivity of oxygen in the water is 0.00002 cm2/s, the thickness of the laminar film is 0.004 cm, the concentration of oxygen in the liquid film on the gas side of the water is 0.008 mg/cm^3 and the concentration in the bulk liquid is 1 mg/cm^3. We are able to determine that there are 710 m^2 of bubble in the reactor. What is the total rate of oxygen being transferred into the liquid from the gas (mg/s)
