a. For a chlorine liquid stripping process, graph the equilibrium distribution data at both 293 K and 373 K, from a partial pressure in the gas phase of 0 mmHg to 200 mmHg. The total system pressure is 1 atm. On the plot, show the molar concentration of chlorine dissolved in water (mol/L) vs. the partial pressure of chlorine in the gas phase (atm). How does the solubility of chlorine in water change with an increase in temperature?

b. At current conditions for liquid stripping at 293K, the partial pressure of chlorine (A) in the bulk gas phase is pA = 0.05 atm, and the concentration of chlorine in the bulk liquid phase is cAL = 0.025 mol/L. The liquid film mass-transfer coefficient for Cl2 in water is kL = 0.5 m/s and the gas film mass-transfer coefficient for Cl2 in air is kG = 0.1 kgmole/m2satm at 293K. Add to your plot the operating point and the operating line -kL/kG for this system. Estimate the compositions at the gas/liquid interface (pA,i and cAL,i) using the equilibrium plot made in part a.
