3. [Scrubber]. An absorption tower is used to remove the ammonia contained in a gaseous mixture of ammonia and nitrogen. The molar fraction of ammonia in the gaseous mixture is 12%. Water is fed from the top of the tower into a packed bed where the counter-current flow of gaseous mixture contacts with the water stream. Under steady-state conditions, 90% of the ammonia in the gas is recovered in the aqueous phase. The mass fraction of the ammonia in the liquid stream leaving the absorber is 0.04. Calculate the volume of aqueous solution (density = 980 g/L) produced after treating 100 moles of gaseous mixture. [Ans: = 4.7 L] Supplementary information: Assume that nitrogen is virtually water insoluble. Assume that no water evaporates from the absorber.
