Answer

11.43 s

Work Step by Step

Here we use Fick's law $m=\frac{DA\Delta Ct}{L}$ to find the time. $m=\frac{DA\Delta Ct}{L}=>t=\frac{mL}{DA\Delta C}$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $t=\frac{(8\times10^{-13}kg)(0.015\space m)}{(5\times10^{-10}m^{2}/s)(7\times10^{-4}m^{2})(3\times10^{-3}kg/m^{3})}=11.43\space s$
