The carbon dioxide exhaled by astronauts can be removed from a spacecraft by reacting it with lithium hydroxide (LiOH). The reac

tion is as follows: CO2 (g) + 2LiOH (s) Li2CO3 (s) + H2O (l). An average person exhales about 20 moles of CO2 per day. How many moles of LiOH would be required to maintain two astronauts in a spacecraft for three days?

Two astronauts would exhale about 40 moles of carbon dioxide daily.

Carbon dioxide reacts with lithium hydroxide in a 1 : 2 mole ratio. Set up a proportion:

 1 : 2 = 40 : x

Then, find x: <span>12=40x

</span> Cross multiply. x = 80 moles of LiOH per day for both astronauts

How many moles of hydrogen gas can be produced if 0.78 moles of hydrochloric acid reacts with excess solid zinc according to the
White raven [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is It will be formed 0.39 moles of H₂

Explanation:

Data

moles of H₂ = ?

moles of HCl = 0.78

moles of Zinc = excess

Balanced chemical reaction

              2 HCl  +  Zn  ⇒  1 H₂  +  ZnCl₂

Process

1.- Use proportions to solve this problem. Consider the coefficients of the balanced reaction.

               2 moles of HCl ---------------------- 1 mol of H₂

               0.78 moles of HCl -----------------  x

               x = (0.78 x 1) / 2

- Simplification

              x = 0.78 / 2

- Result

              x = 0.39 moles of H₂

Saponification is a chemical reaction _____. A. due to the presence of a strong organic acid. B. that results in an alcohol and
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

that results in an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.

Explanation:

Saponification is a chemical reaction process of alkaline hydrolysis of esters(R'COOR group) by which soap is obtained.

For Example, when a base such as sodium hydroxide [NaOH]  is used to hydrolyze an ester, the products are a carboxylate salt and an alcohol. Because soaps are prepared by the alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils.

In a saponification reaction, alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils with sodium hydroxide  yields propane-1,2,3-triol and the corresponding sodium salts of the component fatty acids.

i.e  Fat or oil + caustic alkali ⇒ Soap + propane-1,2,3-triol

As a specific example, ethyl acetate and NaOH react to form sodium acetate and ethanol:

The reaction goes to completion in the image below:
