If the whole liquid and gas flow rates are same, we can use the mole fraction for getting a straight operating line

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question in an interview.

The doubt is from Material Balance Concepts-Cocurrent in section Interphase Mass Transfer of Mass Transfer

The correct answer is (a) True

To explain I would say: If the flow rates are same, the non- diffusing solvent rates also same as the normal flow rate. So it is possible to use mole fraction for the representation of the operating line.
