Two moles of LiOH removes one mole of CO2.
36 g of LiOH is 1.50 moles of LiOH.
That will absorb 0.75 moles of CO2.
Convert that to grams of CO2.
Lithium hydroxide is used in the space program to remove carbon dioxide (from respiration) in spacecraft. Specifically, lithium hydroxide, LiOH, reacts with carbon dioxide, CO2, ro form lithium carbonate, Li2CO3, and water. 2LiOH+CO2->Li2CO3+H2O, What mass of CO2 can be absorbed by 36 g of LiOH?
