Question: In a gas absorption unit, a 3 0 0 m o l m i n feed gas containing S O 2 and species A is

In a gas absorption unit, a 300molmin feed gas containing SO2 and species A is contacted with fresh water stream that absorbs SO2. The gas stream exit from the top of the absorption unit with total flow rate of 200molmin and 5mol%SO2 in the exit gas stream. It is given that the liquid stream exit from the bottom of the absorption unit with 90mol% water in the exit liquid stream. Assume that the absorption of A and evaporation of water in the absorption unit can be neglected. Calculate the absorption efficiency of the absorption unit.
