CO2 is absorbed into a liquid under conditions such that the liquid-side mass transfer coefficient is 2 × 10−4 m/s. The diffusion coefficient of CO2 in the liquid is 2 × 10−9 m2/s. The interfacial concentration of CO2 can be found using Henry’s law. The pressure is 1 atm and the temperature is 300 K. Assume that CO2 reacts with a dissolved solute in the liquid with a rate constant of 1 s−1. Also assume that the bulk concentration of CO2 is zero. Find the Hatta number. Find the flux of CO2 at the interface. Find the flux of CO2 going into the bulk liquid. What percentage of CO2 reacts in the film itself?
