Absorption of sulphur dioxide is carried out in a packed tower. Gas containing 14.8% sulphur dioxide and the rest inert gases enters the tower while the leaving gases contains 1% sulphur dioxide. Water flows at the rate of 1m3/min. The tower handles 7380 m3/hr of gas at 303K and 1 bar. Find the kmolesof sulphur dioxide absorbed in the effluent from the tower. Also find the volume (m3) of the gasesleaving the tower at 0.95 bar and 2983K.
