By means of a plate column, acetone is absorbed from its mixture with air in a nonvolatile absorption oil. the entering gas has a flow rate of 100 moles/minute and contains 30 mole percent acetone. the entering oil contains 1.5 mole percent acetone and has a liquid flow rate, la, of 350 moles/minute. of the acetone in the air, 90 percent is to be absorbed. the equilibrium relationship is ye = 1.9 xe. plot the operating line and determine the number of ideal stages.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

hope this .
