a. The space station uses prepackaged 25.0 kg cartridges of lithium oxide. How much water does each cartridge remove? If the environmental control unit on the space station reports that 29.5 kg of water should be removed from the air, how many lithium oxide cartridges need to be used? b. Lithium hydroxide, the same compound that is produced when water is removed from the air, can remove the excess carbon dioxide exhaled by the astronauts: LiOH(s) + CO2 (g) ? LiHCO3(s) Each lithium hydroxide cartridge that is used to remove carbon dioxide from the air has a lithium hydroxide mass of 32.0 kg. If the process for removing the carbon dioxide has a percentage yield of 88 percent, what mass of carbon dioxide is removed by each canister of lithium hydroxide?

Calculate the amount of material remaining for each of the following substances. 5.25 g Rn-222 (t = 3.80 days) after 7.70 days 6.58 g Ba-133 (t = 38.9 hours) after 4.50 days 9.74 g Mn-54 (t½ = 312 days) after 563 days
Platinum is an expensive and rare metal used in catalytic converters. Much research has been devoted to maximizing reactive properties of other less expensive metals by reducing their size to the nanoscale. Smaller particles are more reactive because they have a larger surface area to volume ratio. Which type of atom in a nanoparticle is more reactive? An atom on the surface of a particle An atom in the interior of a particle The location of an atom in the nanoparticle does not influence its reactivity.

Consider the reaction between barium and sulfur: Ba(s) + S(s) → BaS(s) Both barium and sulfur also combine with oxygen to form barium oxide and sulfur dioxide. When 95.0 g of Ba react with 50.0 g of sulfur, only 65.15 g of Bas are obtained. Assuming 100% yield for the oxides, how many grams of Bao and SO2 are formed?
Deuterium (chemical symbol - D) is a heavy isotope of hydrogen, H. Despite having an extra neutron in its nucleus, deuterium reacts very similarly to hydrogen. What deuterated compounds would be formed in the shown reaction ? D2 Pd/C D O1. C C D O 2.0 B 3. O 4, a 1:1 mixture of B and C O 5. A
1. Give reasons why the helium atom is smaller than the cesium atom. 2. A student got a problem wrong. They were asked, “How many grams of MgCl2 (molar mass = 95.21 g/mol) are needed to make 3.16 L of a 0.500 M MgCl2 solution?” The correct answer is 150. but the student got 1.58. What mistake did the student make? 3. To solve the following problem what is the reason you must subtract the vapor pressure of water, 24 torr, from the total pressure, 747 torr in order to solve the problem? “A 500.0-mL sample of H2 gas is collected over water at 298 K and 747 torr. What volume would the dry H2 gas occupy at STP? (Given: the vapor pressure of water at 298K is 24 torr).” By the way, the answer is .436 liters. NOTE: I am not asking you to solve this problem. I am asking the reason for subtracting the vapor pressure. If you simply solve the problem, you will get no points.
You have a lot of paperwork laying around. A ream of stacked paper is 500 sheets and is 2.0 inches thick. Let's say you had a mole of paper. (1 mole of paper = 6.022 x 10^23 sheets of paper) and it was all stacked up in 10 stacks of equal height, each containing a tenth of a mole of sheets. The ten stacks sit one on top of the other. How high are they?

A student has been tasked to determine the percent water in thalium (II) nitrate, TI(NO3)3'XH20. How would the calculated amount of water affected by each of the errors listed below? Would the determination of the amount of water be incorrectly high or low? You must explain your reasoning in order to receive credit. 4. a) Following heating, the sample was allowed to stand in the open air overnight allowing it to absorb moisture before measuring its mass. b) The sample was heated too strongly resulting in the formation of NO2 (g).

21. ADLC Assignment Booklet A3 Decide whether each statement is true (T) or false (F). Place your answer in the blank space given. Scientific theory states that the atoms in today's plastics were parts of microscopic plants and animals that lived in the oceans millions of years ago. b. Molecules of gasoline have more carbon atoms than do molecules of diesel fuel. c. Subjecting large molecules to cracking is useful because smaller molecules are manipulated more easily in a reaction to produce a desired product. d. Unsaturated compounds form during hydrocarbon cracking because too many hydrogen atoms are available for the number of carbon atoms.
