1.
By making proper mass balance, calculate the percentage removal of CO2 from the
column.
2. Do the convert ratio calculation using

The reaction:
2 NaOH + CO2
Na2CO3 = H2
2 moles of NaOH results with 1 mole of CO2

Let x = moles of NaOH added = 0.01V1
y = moles of HCI used = 0.01V2
Then,
g moles of NaOH reacted = (x-y)
g moles of CO2 reacted = 0.5 (x-y)
Hence,
CO2 concentration = 0.5 (x-y)/(Vco2 sample)

= gmol / Liter
