Module 1 LA

This document contains a learning assessment module from the College of Engineering - Chemical Engineering Department at the Cagayan State University CARIG Campus in the Philippines. The module contains three chemistry and chemical engineering problems related to diffusion, gas solubility calculations, and transport property calculations for gases. Students are asked to calculate diffusion coefficients, solubility values, molecular diameters, thermal conductivity, and heat transfer rates. The problems require the use of equations from textbooks like Foust et al. to solve for transport properties of gases like argon under various temperature and pressure conditions.
