Gaseous A absorbs and reacts with B in liquid according to

in a packed bed under conditions where

At a point in the reactor where p_A = 100 Pa and C_B = 100 mol/m³ liquid

(a) Calculate the rate of reaction in mol/hr . m³ of reactor.
(b) Describe the following characteristics of the kinetics:

location of the major resistance (gas film, liquid film, main body of liquid) behavior in the liquid film (pseudo first-order reaction, instantaneous, second-order reaction, physical transport) for the following values of reaction rate and Henry's law constant.
