Question: Absorption is a chemical process by which a gas mixture ( often a gas containing a contaminant, such as acid vapour ) contacts a liquid

Absorption is a chemical process by which a gas mixture (often a gas containing a contaminant, such as acid vapour) contacts a liquid solvent inside a column, and a portion of the gas contaminant is absorbed into the liquid.
In the absorption process below, a column is used to "sweeten" air by removing a toxic contaminant, H2S(g), from the incoming air stream by dissolving it into pure water solvent. The product, called exit gas, must contain no more than 0.0050ww%H2S.
Air feed:
40m3h total flowrate
20C and 1atm
0.048ww%H2S
Water feed:
110Lh total flowrate
12C and 1atm
Pure (contains no dissolved H2S)
The Question:
Create a complete stream table for this process based on the diagram below. List any assumptions you make to complete it below the stream table.
