Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If k1 = 0.1 and k2 = 0.9, and the interface concentrations are 5 M for liquid and 0.5 M for gas, calculate the flux.
💡 Hint: Ensure you use the correct coefficients for each phase.
A polluted river has a concentration of 12 ppm and the air above has 2 ppm. If you find that the gas resistance is negligible, calculate the overall resistance impacting the transfer rate.
💡 Hint: Assess the given data against the relationships discussed.
