Benzene, a contaminant in groundwater, is diffusing into an inert porous mineral particle at 25°C. The particle has a void fraction of 0.40 with a mean pore diameter of 0.30 mm, and the pores are filled with groundwater. The molecular weight of benzene (solute A) is 78 g/gmole, and the critical volume (Vc) is 259 cm3 /gmole. The mass concentration of benzene in the groundwater surrounding the particle is 0.100 g/L, which is below its solubility limit. Diameter of Benzene molecule is 1.42 °A. a. What is the molar concentration of benzene in the groundwater? b. What are the mole and mass fractions of benzene in the groundwater? c. Estimate the molecular diffusion coefficient of benzene in groundwater. d. Justify why hindered diffusion of the benzene solute through the solvent-filled pore can be ignored. e. Estimate the effective diffusion coefficient of benzene within the water-filled porous mineral particle.

To save energy, the air supply to a 2000 ft office has been shut off overnight and the room temperature has dropped to 40°f. in the morning, the thermostat is reset to 70°f and warm air at 120 f begins to flov in at 200ft'/min. the air is well mixed within the room, and an equal mass flow of air at room temperature (changing with time) is withdrawn through a return duct. the air pressure is nearly 1 atm everywhere. ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, estimate how long it takes for the room temperature to reach 70°f. plot the room temperature as a function of time.
