An absorption column for laboratory use has been carefully constructed so that it has exactly four equilibrium

Question:

 An absorption column for laboratory use has been carefully constructed so that it has exactly four equilibrium stages and is being used to measure equilibrium data. Water is used as solvent to absorb ammonia from air. Operation is isothermal at \(80.0^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\) and \(1.0 \mathrm{~atm}\). Inlet water is pure distilled water. \(\mathrm{L} / \mathrm{V}=1.2\), inlet gas concentration is \(1.0 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) ammonia, and measured outlet gas concentration is \(0.27 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) ammonia. Assuming that equilibrium is of the form \(y=m x\), calculate the value of \(m\) for ammonia. Check your result.
