The value of NA/(NA + NB), for steady state equimolal counter diffusion of two gases 'A' and 'B' is____________?

Correct answer: B.

  • A. 1
  • B.
  • C. 0.5
  • D. 2

Explanation

In equimolal counterdiffusion, the molar fluxes satisfy N_A = -N_B, so the total molar flux N_A + N_B is zero. The displayed ratio consequently has a zero denominator and is conventionally described as infinite.
