Question: Problem 1 . 8 The rate at which a substance passes through a semipermeable membrane is determined by the diffusivity D ( c m 2

Problem 1.8
The rate at which a substance passes through a semipermeable membrane is determined by the diffusivity D(cm2s) of the gas. D varies with the membrane temperature T(K) according to the Arrhenius Equation:
D=D0exp(-ERT)
Where D0 is the pre-exponential factor, E is the activation energy for Diffusion and R is the universal gas constant R=1.987calmol.K.
Diffusivities of SO2 in fluoro-silicone rubber tube are measured at several temperatures, with the following results:
\table[[T(K),D(cm2s)106,],[347.0,1.34, so that (:D=1.3410-6cm2s}
