1. (15 pts) In a packed column, it is desired to remove 97% of solute by absorption in water. A gas stream that contains 2.5% solute passes through the absorber at an operating temperature and pressure of 20Cand 1 atm, respectively. The gas rate is equal to 20mol/hrft2 while the liquid rate is 100mol/hrft2.Neglecting changes in these given flow rates and assuming isothermal operations, determine: (a) Hox, (b) Nox, ( ) and (d) the \% total resistance in the liquid phase
