The chemical could have more or less of a reaction to the other chemicals in the experiment
Answer:
(a) The proportion of dry air bypassing the unit is 14.3%.
(b) The mass of water removed is 1.2 kg per 100 kg of dry air.
Explanation:
We can express the proportion of air that goes trough the air conditioning unit as
and the proportion of air that is by-passed as
, being
.
The amount of water that goes into the drier inlet has to be 0.004 kg/kg, and can be expressed as:

Replacing the first equation in the second one we have

(b) Of every kg of dry air feed, 85.7% goes in to the air conditioning unit.
It takes (0.016-0.002)=0.014 kg water per kg dry air feeded.
The water removed of every 100 kg of dry air is

It can also be calculated as the difference in humiditiy between the inlet and the outlet: (0.016-0.004=0.012 kgW/kDA) and multypling by the total amount of feed (100 kgDA).
100 * 0.012 = 1.2 kgW
The answer is dilute. A dilute salt solution contains a small amount of salt with high water concentration while a concentrated salt solution has a large amount of salt with a lower water concentration. Salt is inorganic hence it is not monounsaturated, which is a term related to organic compounds. The salt is unable to dissolve anymore in a saturated salt solution, leaving the undissolved salt at the bottom and this is not the case here since we only have a small amount of salt.
