A solid sphere of naphthalene (A) with a radius of 2.5 mm is surrounded by still air (B) at
300 K and 1 atm. Take the surface temperature of the naphthalene as 300?K and its vapor
pressure at this temperature as 0.104 mm Hg. The diffusivity of naphthalene in air at 318?K

constant angular motion for a time interval which is of such a duration that the liquid has
assumed a fixed orientation in the vessel. Show that at steady-state, the free surface forms a

In a gas diffusion experiment chloropicrin (CCI3NO2) is kept in a cylindrical test tube. A
gas is passed through the open end of the tube. What is the rate of evaporation (in g.hr1) in
air at 25?C? Total pressure = 770 mm; Hg Diffusivity = 0.088 cm2 Sec?1; Vapor pressure
= 23.81 mm; Hg Distance from liq. Level to top of tube = 11.14 cm
Density of chloropicrin = 1.65 g cm?3; Surface area of liq. exposed to air = 2.29cm2.
