Experiments were conducted to determine the flux of a species A in a
stagnant medium across a gas-liquid interface. The overall mass transfer coefficient based on the liquid side for dilute systems for the above was
estimated to be 4 × 10
-3 kg mole/m2
.s. The equilibrium data for the system is
given as y = 2x. The flux across the interface (in kg mole/m2
.s) for bulk
concentrations of A in gas phase and liquid phase as y = 0.4 and x = 0.01
respectively is:
(A) 5.6 × 10
-4
(B) 8.5 × 10
-4
(C) 5.6 × 10
-3
(D) 8.5 × 10
-3
