Figure P12.12 depicts a chemical exchange process consisting of a series of reactors in which a gas fl owing from left to right is passed over a liquid fl owing from right to left. The transfer of a chemical from the gas into the liquid occurs at a rate that is proportional to the difference between the gas and liquid concentrations in each reactor. At steady state, a mass balance for the first reactor can be written for the gas as
and for the liquid as
Where
