the total pressure from 100 to 200 kN/m2

in absorption of ammonia from a mixture of

ammonia and air containing 10% ammonia by volume, using pure water as solvent. Assume

that all the resistance to mass transfer lies within the gas phase. The diffusivity can be

assumed to be inversely proportion to the absolute pressure.
