One of the air-purification methods for enclosed spaces involves the use of "scrubbers" containing aqueous lithium hydroxide, which reacts with carbon dioxide to produce lithium carbonate and water: 2 LiOH(aq) + 2 CO2(g) →Li2CO3(s) + H2O(l) Consider the air supply in a submarine with a total volume of 2.25 ×105 L. The pressure is 0.9950 atm, and the temperature is 25°C. If the pressure in the submarine drops by 0.0100 atm as the result of carbon dioxide being consumed by an aqueous lithium hydroxide scrubber, how many moles of CO2 are consumed?
