Hydrogen gas seems to have a diffusivity of about 2.6 x 10^-13 m^2/s when diffusing into iron at 770 K. What would you expect the rate of diffusion or mass flow rate per unit area of hydrogen to be when stored in an iron container at 5 atmospheres pressure, assuming the density of hydrogen at 1 mm in the iron from the containing surface to be 5% of the normal hydrogen density, given by p/RT?

What will be an ideal response?
