Recall the relationship between overall and film mass transfer coefficients, and
that the 1/K represents the mass transfer resistance.

In this case, solute A can be interpreted as being very soluble in the liquid: at
equilibrium, a small concentration of A in the gas will bring about a very large
concentration in the liquid.
If my is large (i.e. the equilibrium curve is very steep), the term 1/mykG is not
significant, therefore:

Assuming equimolar counter transfer, (a) find the overall liquid phase mass
transfer coefficient, (b) determine the interfacial compositions, xAi and yAi,
and (c) calculate the molar flux, NA

As before plot a line from the bulk concentrations with a slope equals to
1.217 to intersect with the equilibrium curve.
xAi = 0.01405
yAi = 0.0364
Use the new values for the log mean concentration differences.
Consequently, the interfacial conditions are xAi = 0.01405 and yAi =
0 0364
0.0364.
