The reaction of removing CO2
using LiOH is the following:
2 LiOH + CO2 -----> Li2CO3
+ H2O
By solving the amount of CO2
the LiOH can scrub:
(3.50 × 10^4 g LiOH) (1 mol LiOH/
24 g LiOH) ( 1 mol CO2 / 2 mol LiOH) ( 44 g CO2 /1 mol CO2) = 32, 083.33 g CO2
it can scrub
<span>Since number of astronaut = 32,
083.33 g / 9 (8.8 × 10^2) = 4 astronaut</span>
The nuclear reaction occurring is known as alpha-decay, and during this process, an alpha particle is released from a heavy radioactive nucleus to form a lighter more stable nucleus. The alpha particle is equivalent to a helium nucleus, which means it contains 2 protons and two neutrons (net charge of +2)
The decay equation is:
Rn → Po + α
D. a and b because same-charged particles repel each other
4 Hydrogen Atoms should be correct. Because the 4 infront of it signifies the amount of hydrogen. It would also be 4 hydrogen atoms if it were written as H4N3, because the 4 is still around the H (as long as the 4 is under scored)
