Although most absorption equilibrium data follow the Arrhenius relationship, Eq. (12-4), some systems do not. Thus, one should always check before assuming the Arrhenius relationship is valid.

Eq (12-4)

a. Does the CO-water system (Table 12-1) follow the Arrhenius relationship? If yes, report the value of \(\mathrm{E}\).

Table 12-1

b. Does the \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}\)-water system (Table 12-1) follow the Arrhenius relationship? If yes, report the value of \(\mathrm{E}\).

Table 12-1
