Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

m' = 1 x 10⁻⁶ kg/s

Explanation:

Given that

Diffussion constant = 1 x 10⁻¹¹

Mass flow rate ,m = 2 x 10⁻⁶ kg/s

The diffusion is inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane and therefore when the thickness is doubled, the mass flow rate would become half.

So new flow rate m'

m'=\dfrac{m}{2}

m'=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-6}}{2}\ kg/s

m' = 1 x 10⁻⁶ kg/s
