Absorption factor is defined as (where, S1 = slope of the operating line S2 = slope of the equilibrium curve) ____________________?
Correct answer: B. S1/S2
- A. S2/S1
- B. S1/S2
- C. S1 - S2
- D. S1 × S2
Explanation
The absorption factor is A = L/(mG), which is the operating-line slope divided by the equilibrium-line slope when these are written on the same basis. Hence A = S1/S2.
