Answer the following question: In a space shuttle, the CO2 that the crew exhales is removed from the air by a reaction within ca

nisters of lithium hydroxide. Let's assume that one astronaut exhales about 825. L of CO2 daily. What mass of water will be produced when this amount reacts with LiOH? The other product of the reaction is Li2CO3. When answering this question include the following:
Have both the unbalanced and balanced chemical equations.
Explain how to find the molar mass of the compounds.
Explain how the balanced chemical equation is used to find the ratio of moles (hint: step 3 in the video).
Explain how many significant figures your answer needs to have.

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The unbalanced reaction equation is;

CO2(g) + LiOH(aq) + Li2CO3(aq) + H2O(l)

The balanced chemical reaction equation;

CO2(g) + 2LiOH(aq) + Li2CO3(aq) + H2O(l)

The molar mass of each compound is the sum of the relative atomic masses of the atoms of the elements that compose the compounds.

For CO2

12 + 16(2) = 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol

For LiOH

7 + 16 + 1 = 24 g/mol

For Li2CO3

2(7) + 12 + 3(16) = 74 g/mol

For H2O

2(1) + 16 = 18 g/mol

From the balanced chemical reaction equation, the mole ratio is 1:2:1:1. This is obtained from the stoichiometric coefficient of each reactant in the balanced chemical reaction equation.

From the question;

1 mole of CO2 occupies 22.4 L

x moles of CO2 occupies 825 L

x = 1 mole * 825 L/22.4 L

x = 36.8 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of CO2 produces 1 mole of water

36.8 moles of CO2 produces 36.8 moles of water

Mass of 36.8 moles of water = 36.8 moles * 18 g/mol

= 662 g of water

The answer must have three significant figures because that is the same number of significant figures to which values were given in the question.

A 46.9 gram sample of a substance has a volume of about 3.5 centimeters3. It is solid at a room temperature of 23ºC. Out of the
horrorfan [7]

Answer : (C) Hafnium is the most likely identity of the given substance.

Solution :  Given,

Mass of given substance (m) = 46.9 g

Volume of given substance (V) = 3.5 Cm^{3}

First, find the Density of given substance.

Formula used :    

Density=\frac{\text{Mass of given substance}}{\text{Voume of given substance}}

Now,put all the values in this formula, we get

Density=\frac{46.9 g}{3.5 Cm^{3} } = 13.4 g/Cm^{3}

So, we conclude that the density of given substance (13.4 g/Cm^{3}) is approximately equal to the density of Mercury and Hafnium (13.53 and 13.31 g/Cm^{3} respectively).

According to the question the substance is solid at room temperature but Mercury is liquid at room temperature. So, Mercury is not identical to the given substance.

Another element i.e, Hafnium is the element whose density is approximately equal to the given substance and also solid at room temperature. And we know that the melting point of solid is high.

So, Hafnium is the most likely element which is the identity of the given substance.

How is electronegativity related to covalent bonding?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Atoms must have similar electronegativities in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bonding is one of the bondings that occurs between the atoms of elements. It is the bonding in which atoms share their valence electrons with one another. However, the ELECTRONEGATIVITY, which is the ability of an atom to be attracted to electrons play a major role in the formation of covalent bonds.

When atoms of different electronegativities combine, the more electronegative atom pulls more electrons towards itself, hence, an IONIC bond is formed. However, when the electronegativities of the atoms are similar, the sharing of their electrons becomes stronger. Hence, ATOMS MUST HAVE SIMILAR ELECTRONEGATIVITIES in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.
