GASAPPP...A certain plant requires SO2 soluti0n in water which can be prepared by abs0rbing SO2 gas in pure water. The s0urce 0f the SO2 is a sulfur burner which issues a gas c0nsisting of 12 % SO2, 10% O2 and 78 % N2. 90 kg-m0l/hr 0f this gas is available. The resulting s0luti0n is 1 % SO2 by weight. The 0utgoing gas has a partial pressure of SO2 equal to 2.6 mm Hg and a partial pressure 0f water equal to 20 mm Hg. The t0tal pressure is 760 mm Hg at 35oC. Find the liquid water requirements in kg/h, the v0lumetric fl0w rate 0f the exit gas and the % rec0very 0f the SO2 gas.

GASAPPP...A certain plant requires SO₂ soluti0n in water which can be prepared by abs0rbing SO₂gas in pure water. The s0urce 0f the SO₂is a sulfur burner which issues a gas c0nsisting of 12 % SO₂, 10% O₂ and 78 % N₂. 90 kg-m0l/hr 0f this gas is available. The resulting s0luti0n is 1 % SO₂ by weight. The 0utgoing gas has a partial pressure of SO₂ equal to 2.6 mm Hg and a partial pressure 0f water equal to 20 mm Hg. The t0tal pressure is 760 mm Hg at 35^oC. Find the liquid water requirements in kg/h, the v0lumetric fl0w rate 0f the exit gas and the % rec0very 0f the SO₂ gas.
