For a single component absorber, the operating line is straight only when plotted in term of ______________ units?

Correct answer: B. Mole ratio

  • A. Partial pressure
  • B. Mole ratio
  • C. Mole fraction
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For absorption, the operating relationship is linear when expressed using solute-free mole ratios, commonly written as Y versus X. Mole fractions generally introduce a nonlinear conversion because the total flow changes during absorption.
