Fick’s law is not applicable for describing the diffusion of solutes molecules in a solid medium.

Fick’s law is not applicable for describing the diffusion of solutes molecules in a solid medium. Correct Answer False

Fick’s law is still used to describe the diffusion of solute molecule in a solid medium. Diffusion occurs depending on the Fick’s law and the rate of diffusion is proportional to the space available for the transfer of solute molecules and it is inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane.

In a gas mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, steady state equimolar counter diffusion is occurring at a total pressure of 100 kPa and temperature of 20°C. If the partial pressures of oxygen at two planes 0.01 m apart, and perpendicular to the direction of diffusion are 15 kPa and 5 kPa, respectively and the mass diffusion flux of oxygen in the mixture is 1.6 * 10–5 kmol/m2.sec, calculate the molecular diffusivity for the system. For equimolar counter current diffusion:
