Question
Note: If you're traveling in space (or in a submarine), the air has to be purified to remove the carbon dioxide you exhale. This was one of the biggest problems faced by the Apollo 13 astronauts as they
returned to Earth in their crippled spacecraft.
H = 1.008 g/mol
C = 12.011 g/mol
O = 15.999 g/mol
Ca - 40.078 g/mol
Balance the following equation (please fill in all coefficients, even
they are "1" and could be omitted when writing the equation):
Ca(OH)>(s) +
Co(g) -->
Caco, +
H,0
Your air purifier contains 150.00 g of calcium hydroxide.
Calculate the molecular mass of calcium hydroxide:
g/mol
Convert the quantity of calcium hydroxide to moles:
mol
Use the Idea Gas Law (PV = nRT) to answer the following questions:
P (atm) x V (L) =n (mol) x R (constant) x T (K)
R = 0.0821 (L x atm) / (mole x K) [recall that temperature K = °C + 273°]
If you exhale 10.00 L per hour of carbon dioxide (at 1.00 atm and 22°C), how many moles is that?
mol carbon dioxide
According to the balanced equation, how many moles of calcium hydroxide are needed per hour to absorb the carbon dioxide?
How many hours before you run out of calcium hydroxide?
