A gas stream consisting of 200 lb-mol/h of an SO, -air mixture containing 50 mol% SO, is contacted with liquid water in a continuous absorber at 30 C. The liquid leaving the absorber is analyzed and found to contain 2.00 g of SO2 per 100 g of H2O. If the gas and liquid streams leaving the absorber are in equilibrium at 30 °C and 1 atm, calculate the fraction of the entering SO, absorbed in the water and the required water feed rate where the partial pressure of H2O and SO, is 31.6 and 176 mmHg.

Question
Transcribed Image Text:A gas stream consisting of 200 lb-mol/h of an SO2 -air mixture containing 50 mol% SO, is contacted with liquid
water in a continuous absorber at 30 C. The liquid leaving the absorber is analyzed and found to contain 2.00 g
of SO2 per 100 g of H20. If the gas and liquid streams leaving the absorber are in equilibrium at 30 °C and 1 atm,
calculate the fraction of the entering SO, absorbed in the water and the required water feed rate where the partial
pressure of H,O and SO, is 31.6 and 176 mmHg.
