For equimodal Counter diffision.

N A = (D AB/ Z 1) *(CA l -CA 2).

Where N A is the molal diffusivity of gases.
DAB is mass transfer coefficient-- cm^2/sec,
Z L is the distance travelled by molecule --cm,
CA 1 unit moles/cm^3.

So, finally molal diffusivity units is gmole/(cm^2 .sec).

@Shyam.

NA is the molar flux, not the molal diffusivity.
