 A hydrochloric acid solution [ 8-molar, SG 1.12.C = 2.76J/(8C)] is

A hydrochloric acid solution [ 8-molar, SG 1.12.C = 2.76J/(8C)] is produced by absorbing hydrogen chloride [HCl(g)] in water. Liquid water enters the absorber at 35.0 C and gaseous HCL is fed at 10.0C 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 Volume of HCL Correct. Estimate the volume (liters) of HCL that must be fed to to the absorber. 178.8 L eTextbook and Media Hint Attempts: 1 of 3 used Heat Removal * Take reference states of H2O(l) and HCl(e) at 25C. Estimate the heat (kJ) [absolute value] that must be transferred from the absorber if the product solution is to emerge at 40.0C. 5.891 kJ (positive) Hint Save for Later Attempts: 1 of 3 used Submit Answer Adiabatic Operation Estimate the final solution temperature if the absorber operates adiabetically (if it did not boil first). I C Save for Later Attempts: 0 of 3 used Submit
