In a space shuttle, the Carbon dioxide, CO2 that the crew exhales is removed from the air by a reaction within canisters of Lithium Hydroxide, LiOH. The LiOH is only 85% efficient. On average, each astronaut exhales around 20.0 mol of CO2 every day. What volume of water is produced when the CO2 reacts with the excess LiOH

Answer:

What volume of water is produced when the CO2 reacts with the excess LiOH

X = 360 mL H2O

Explanation:

CO2 (g)       + 2 LiOH(s) ⇒ Li2CO3  (aq) + H2O(l)

20.0 mol        excess                                   x g

X = 360 mL H2O

x mL H20 = 20.0 mol CO2  (1 mol H2O /1 mol CO2)(18 g H2O/1 mol H2O)

(1 mL H2O /1 g H2O)

X = 360 mL H2O
