During space shuttle flights, CO2 in the air was removed by a containment control cartridge (CCC) containing LIOH. The balanced equation for the reaction is: 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(t) If six astronaut crew members each exhaled 835gCO2 per day, what mass of LiOH was needed to react with all the CO2 generated each day by the entire crew? 909gLLOH 5.45103gLOH 1.67103gLLOH 1.00104g LiOH Remember to convert to moles before using the mole ratio. 2.73103gLOH
