Water containing a solute is flowing through a 1cm diameter tube, which is 50 cm in length, at an average velocity of 1 cm/s. The temperature of water is 37 C. The walls of the tube are coated with an enzyme that makes the solute disappear instantly. The solute enters the tube at a concentration of 0.1 M and the solute has a MW of 300 g/mol. Estimate the fraction of the solute that leaves the tube. Assume that the viscosity and density of water at these conditions are 0.76 cP and 1g/cm^3, respectively.
