Answer:

carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon burns in oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Since hydrocarbon fuels only contain two elements, we always obtain the same two products when they burn. In the equation below methane (CH 4) is being burned. The oxygen will combine with the carbon and the hydrogen in the methane molecule to produce carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H 2O).

Carbon, as graphite, burns to form gaseous carbon (IV) oxide (carbon dioxide), CO2. ... When the air or oxygen supply is restricted, incomplete combustion to carbon monoxide, CO, occurs. 2C(s) + O2(g) → 2CO(g) This reaction is important. When one mole of carbon is exposed to some energy in the presence of one mole of oxygen gas, one mole of carbon dioxide gas is produced. This reaction is a combustion reaction.

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
