Question

) In a tower 2 components, named as A and B, are present. The components are mutually present both
in the gas and liquid phases. Component A, which is the solute, diffuses from the gas phase to the liquid phase.
Component B, on the other hand, is the non-diffusing stagnant component. At a certain location in the tower,
the bulk concentration of A in the gas phase is 45% by mole; and the bulk concentration of A in the liquid phase
is 5% by mole. The film mass-transfer coefficients in the gas phase and the liquid phase are calculated as 1.465 x
10-3
kg mol A/s.m2
.mol frac. and 1.967 x 10-3
kg mol A/s.m2
.mol frac., respectively. Considering the given
information, please calculate the interface concentration and the flux of A by using both liquid and gas phase
equations.
