Chapter 5.4, Problem 5.12BFP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The required mass of lithium hydroxide to remove ${\text{215 L of CO}}_{\text{2}}\text{ at 238°C and 0}\text{.942}\text{atm}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas law:

The relationship between gas variables (P, T, and V) and amounts (mol) is given by ideal gas equation, it is

  $\text{PV}\text{=}\text{nRT}$

Where,

$\begin{array}{l}\text{P = pressure}\hfill \\ \text{V = volume}\hfill \\ \text{T =temperature}\hfill \\ \text{n = number of mole}\hfill \\ \text{R = universal gas constant}\text{.}\hfill \end{array}$

Mole:

The ratio between mass of the substance and molar mass of the substance is known as mole of substance.

$\text{Mole}\text{=}\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar}\text{mass}}$
