4. Is there enough lithium hydroxide in the filter to cleanse the cabin air of the carbon dioxide, or are the
astronauts doomed? Support your answer with your calculations and answers from above.
There is enough lithium hydroxide to cleanse the cabin air of co2 because 2 moles of LIOH is required to remove 1
mole of carbon dioxide. So if you divide 265 you would get 132.5, meaning that there is enough lithium hydroxide
to remove all of the carbon dioxide. And the lithium hydroxide could remove all the carbon dioxide the astronauts
emit since there would be 132.5 moles of lithium hydroxide left.
