Lithium hydroxide is used to remove the CO₂ produced by the respiration of astronauts. An astronaut produces about 400 L CO₂ at 24 °C and 1.00 atm of pressure every 24 hours. What mass of lithium hydroxide, in grams, is needed to remove the CO₂ produced by the astronaut in 24 hours? Th e equation is
