An absorber is to remove 99 percent of solute A from a gas stream containing 4 mol

Question:

An absorber is to remove 99 percent of solute A from a gas stream containing 4 mol percent A. Solutions of A in the solvent follow Henry's law, and the temperature rise of the liquid can be neglected. 

(a) Calculate Noy for operation at 1 atm using solute. free liquid at a rate of 1.5 times the minimum value.

(b) For the same liquid rate, calculate Noy for operation at 2 atm and at 4 atm.

(c) Would the effect of pressure on Noy be partly offset by a change in Hoy?
