- The carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardWrite balanced chemical equations for the following reactions. (a) The reaction of aluminum and iron(III) oxide to form iron and aluminum oxide (known as the thermite reaction). (b) The reaction of carbon and water at high temperature to form a mixture of gaseous CO and H2 (known as water gas and once used as a fuel). (c) The reaction of liquid silicon tetrachloride and magnesium forming silicon and magnesium chloride. This is one step in the preparation of ultrapure silicon used in the semiconductor industryarrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation for the reaction between (a) dihydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide gases to form sulfur solid and steam.

(d) uranium(IV) oxide and hydrogen fluoride gas to form uranium(IV) fluoride and steam. (e) the combustion of ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) to give carbon dioxide and water.arrow_forward
- The metals industry was a major source of air pollution years ago. One common process involved roasting metal sulfides in the air 2 PbS(s) + 3 O2(g) 2 PbO(s) + 2 SO2(g) If 2.50 mol of PbS is heated in air, what amount of O2 is required for complete reaction? What amounts of PbO and SO2 are expected?arrow_forwardEthanol, C2H5OH, is a gasoline additive that can be produced by fermentation of glucose. C6H12O62C2H5OH+2CO2 (a) Calculate the mass (g) of ethanol produced by the fermentation of 1.000 lb glucose. (b) Gasohol is a mixture of 10.00 mL ethanol per 90.00 mL gasoline. Calculate the mass (in g) of glucose required to produce the ethanol in 1.00 gal gasohol. Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL. (c) By 2022, the U. S. Energy Independence and Security Act calls for annual production of 3.6 1010 gal of ethanol, no more than 40% of it produced by fermentation of corn. Fermentation of 1 ton (2.2 103 lb) of corn yields approximately 106 gal of ethanol. The average corn yield in the United States is about 2.1 105 lb per 1.0 105 m2. Calculate the acreage (in m2) required to raise corn solely for ethanol production in 2022 in the United States.arrow_forwardCarbon dioxide from the atmosphere weathers, or dissolves, limestone (CaCO3) by the reaction CaCO3(s)+CO2(g)+H2O(l)Ca2(aq)+2HCO3(aq) Obtain H for this reaction.
