The total pressure of air (assumed dry) is 1.01325 ο΄ 105 Pa and the temperature is 293 K. Water evaporates and diffuses through the air in the tube, and the diffusion path z2-z1 is 0.1524m long. Calculate the rate of evaporation of water vapor at 293 K and 1 atm pressure. The diffusivity of water in air is 0.250 x 10-4 m2/s. Assume that the system is isothermal.
