Question: Consider an absorber with equilibrium data given in the figure. The solvent feed contains 1 mol % solute and the vapor feed contains 2 4

Consider an absorber with equilibrium data given in the figure. The solvent feed contains 1 mol% solute
and the vapor feed contains 24.5 mol% solute at a total vapor flow rate of 100 kmol/hr. We desire a
vapor with 4.8 mol% solute in it.
a.) What is the vapor mole ratio of solute entering the column?
b.) What is the liquid mole ratio of solute
c.) What is the minimum total solvent feed flow rate required to feed to the column (L)?
d.) What is the total vapor flow rate exiting the column (V)? Note that this doesnt require a solvent
flow rate.entering the column?
 Consider an absorber with equilibrium data given in the figure. The
