Question

What do CG stands for in stripping theory (Henry’s law)?

(a) Contaminant

(b) Contaminant in gaseous phase

(c) Contaminant in liquid phase

(d) Contaminant in solid phase

The question was asked in class test.

This question is from Physical Treatment topic in division Chemical, Physical & Biological Treatment of Hazardous Waste Management

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) Contaminant in gaseous phase

The explanation: Stripping theory is given by H = CG / CL. Where, CL is the ratio of the contaminant at equilibrium in the liquid phase, CG is the contaminant in the gaseous phase and H is Henry’s constant.
