To measure the efficiency of a certain type of distilledbeverage distillation process, it's necessary to quantify the lossof ethanol in the bottom product, that is, to the air. In aexperiment, a Stefan tube with a cross section of 8 cm² was used toquantify the ethanol diffusivity from the tank to the air. In theinitial period, the ethanol surface was 10 cm from the top of thetube and after 10 hours it reached 25 cm, equivalent to 0.0445 cm³of evaporated ethanol. So, find the mass diffusivity of ethanol inair.Information:• Ethanol vapor pressure: 0.0684 atm;• At the top of the tube, the ethanol concentration is zero.
