Question: A hydrochloric acid solution [ 8 - molar, SG { : 1 . 1 2 , C p = 2 . 7 6 J g

A hydrochloric acid solution [8-molar, SG {:1.12,Cp=2.76JgC] is produced by absorbing hydrogen chloride HCl(g) in water.
Liquid water enters the absorber at 15.0C and gaseous HCL is fed at 20.0C and 790.0 torr absolute.
Essentially all of the HCL fed to the column is absorbed.
Take one liter of product solution as a basis of calculation.
Physical Property Tables
Estimate the heat (kJ)[absolute value] that must be transferred from the absorber if the product solution is to emerge at 40.0C.
i kJ(positive)
Hint
Assistance Used
The bases can be confusing.
Express enthalpy of the acid solution on a per mole of HCL basis.
Estimate the final solution temperature if the absorber operates adiabatically (if it did not boil first).
C
Hint
Assistance Used
For adiabatic operation, Q=0.
