In order to recover benzene from a benzene-air mixture, the mixture is scrubbed with kerosene in a packed tower. 8000m3/h of a benzene-air mixture containing 2 mole% benzene (25°C, 765 mm Hg) is treated with 10,000 kg/h of kerosene. If 98% of the benzene is recovered; find the composition of the gas stream and liquid stream leaving the tower. What is the volumetric flow rate of the outgoing gas stream (25°C, 759 mm Hg)
