Diffusion of Methane Through Helium. A gas of CH4 and He is contained in a tube at 101.32 kPa pressure and 298 K. At one point the partial pressure of methane is pA1 = 60.79 kPa, and at a point 0.02 m distance away, pA2 = 20.26 kPa. If the total pressure is constant throughout the tube, calculate the flux of CH4 (methane) at steady state for equimolar counterdiffusion.

6.1-2.

Diffusion of CO2 in a Binary Gas Mixture. The gas CO2 is diffusing at steady state through a tube 0.20 m long having a diameter of 0.01 m and containing N2 at 298 K. The total pressure is constant at 101.32 kPa. The partial pressure of CO2 is 456 mm ...
