The Solute HCL

HCl is diffusing through a thin film of water from a point with 12.0 wt% HCl concentration to a point with 6.0 wt% HCl concentration. The film is 2.0 mm thick and the diffusion coefficient of HCl in water is given. Using the equation for steady-state flux and the information provided, the flux of HCl through the film can be calculated.

The solute HCl (component-A, MW = 36.

5) is diffusing through a thin film of water (component-B, MW


= 18.0) at 298 K from point 1 to point 2. The film thickness is 2.0 mm. The concentration of HCl at
point 1 is 12.0 wt% HCl (density = 1060.7 kg/m

), and the concentration of HCl at point 2 is 6.0 wt%
HCl (density = 1030.3 kg/m

). The diffusion coefficient of HCl in water DAB is 2.5 x 10

You are given the following equation:

where
NA = flux of component-A (kg-mole/m
2
.s)
NB = flux of component-B (kg-mole/m
2
.s)
CA = concentration of component-A (kg-mole/m

)
C = total concentration (kg-mole/m

)
Assuming steady-state condition and that water is non-diffusing, show that


Hence calculate the flux of HCl in kg-mole/m
