A mixture of 2 5 % ammonia gas and 7 5 % air ( on a dry basis ) rises ( or passes upward )

A mixture of 25% ammonia gas and 75% air (on a dry basis) rises (or passes upward) through a vertical scrubbing tower, to the top of which water is pumped.
The scrubbed gas exits the top of the tower containing 0.5% ammonia by weight, and an aqueous solution containing 10% ammonia by weight exits the bottom of the tower. Both inlet and outlet gas streams are saturated with water vapor. The gas enters the tower at 37.8\deg C and exits at 21.1\deg C. The pressure of both streams, as well as inside the tower, is 1.02 atm gauge. The air-ammonia mixture enters the tower at the rate of 28.32 m3/min, as a dry gas at 15.6\deg C and 1 atm.
What percentage of the ammonia entering the tower is not absorbed by water? How many cubic meters of water per hour are pumped to the top of the tower?
Answers: 1.5%; 2.71 m3/h
Please make it as detailed and explanatory as possible because I want to study andunderstandit.
