Pick out the wrong statement
Co-current absorbers are usually used, when the gas to be dissolved in the liquid is a pure substance.
In case of gas absorption, HETP is equal to HTU, when both the operating line & the equilibrium lines are parallel.
Hatta number is important in case of gas absorption with chemical reaction.
In actual practice, absorption is an en-dothermic process, while stripping is an exothermic process.
