Consider the graphical representation of the mass transfer process across the liquid-gas interface given below being. The fractions of component a within the gaseous and liquid phase respectively and the continuous line the equilibrium curve.

Based on the graph above, it can be stated that:

a) This is a gaseous absorption process and the gaseous phase controls the transfer process of component A

b) This is a liquid depletion process in which the liquid phase controls the transfer process of component A

c)This is a gaseous absorption process and the liquid phase controls the transfer process of component A

d) This is a liquid depletion process and the gaseous phase controls the transfer process of component A
