Consider the transfer of methane from benzene to water. What temperature would be needed to make this process spontaneous? Also discuss the implications of this when considering hydrophobic interactions.
gas-liquid mass transfer, and rate-limited sorption on the gas-phase transport of contaminants in idealized unsaturated homogeneous and heterogeneous porous media. The transport of methane in the unsaturated homogeneous porous medium was ideal, whereas that of trichloroethene and benzene was nonideal, governed by rate- limited diffusive mass transfer in immobile water and by rate-limited sorption/desorption. Transport of both methane and tricfer between unsaturated advective and nonadvective domains caused nonideal transport of methane. Trichloroethene nonideality was due to a combination of gas-phase mass transfer between advective and nonadvective domains, diffusion within immobile water, and rate-limited sorption/desorption. The transport of trichloroethene through the heterogeneous porous medium was predicted by uhyse of a multiprocess mass transfer model.
