Using the equation below, calculate the flux of molecules to the surface at a base pressure of 5 x 1011 torr, assuming that the sticking coefficient is unity. Assume the molecules involved are hydrogen gas molecules and that they do not dissociate upon interaction with the surface. Is this base pressure low enough to keep the surface clean? T=300 K.

The diffusion coefficient of valine in water at 298 KKis 0.831×10−9m2⋅s−10.831×10−9m2⋅s−1. Determine the time it will take a valine molecule on average to diffuse an rms distance of 2.00. If the molecular diameter of valine is taken to be 0.300 nmnm, what is the time per random walk step?
I am a bit lost on this one. Can you please show baby steps with cancelling units? The collision cross section for neon is 0.24 nm2.Calculate the mean free path (in nanometers), between collisions for neon atoms at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 31°C. λ = _______ nm.
You are hardening a tool made of BCC iron by increasing the carbon concentration at its surface by heating the tool in the presence of a carbon-rich gas (for example methane). A heat treatment at 600oC for 100 minutes results in a carbon concentration of 0.75 wt% at a position 0.5mm below the surface. How long would it take to obtain a carbon concentration of 0.75 wt% at a position 0.5 mm below the surface if the heat treatment were conducted at 900oC? Hint: (use the simplified version of Fick’s second law )

A Poiseuille flow experiment was carried out to measure the viscosity of air at 298 k. The sample was allowed to flow through a 100 cm tube of an internal diameter 1mm. The high-pressure end was at 865 Torr and the low-pressure end was at 760 Torr. The volume was measured at the latter pressure. In 59 seconds a volume of 90.2 cm3 passed through the tube. What is the viscosity (unit in cp) of air at this temperature?

The lower surface area provides a better surface contact with the solvent, facilitating fasterdissolution. This is indirectly proportional to the substance particle size, indicating a fasterdissolution when a reduction in the particle size is observed.
