2. (a) Calculate the volume in liters of NH3 gas under a pressure of 1 atm and at a temperature
of 20 0 C that can be dissolved in 100 liters of water at the same temperature. For NH3
and water at 20 0 C, H=2.7 atm/mole fraction.
(b) A Solution with a CO2 content of 0.5 Kg CO2 /100 kg H2 O flows out of a pressure apparatus
for absorption of CO2 by water and into an open vessel. Compute the amount of CO2
given up by 1 m3 of water after being expanded to a pressure of 746 mm Hg, if the water
temperature is 20 0 C.
For CO2 and water at 20 0 C, H = 1.08 × 106 mm Hg/mole fraction. [8+8]
