Question: c) Show that the relationship between the mole ratio of the solute in the gas and liquid streams (operating line) for a steady state

c) Show that the relationship between the mole ratio of the solute 

c) Show that the relationship between the mole ratio of the solute in the gas and liquid streams (operating line) for a steady state countercurrent gas absorption tower is given by; (4 marks) L' Y = V'Y - L'X, V' Where; Y, = mole ratio of solute in gas phase exiting the column, X,-mole ratio of solute in liquid phase entering the column, L'= molar flow rate of non-transferable component in the liquid stream, V = molar flow rate of the incrt gas
