Question

How many moles in lithium hydroxide are required to react with 45 mole CO 2 ? CO 2 +LiOH Li 2 CO 3 +H 2 O

Answer 1

Solution:

A chemical equation must be balanced:

CO₂ + 2LiOH = Li₂CO₃ + H₂O

According to the reaction equation for 1 mol of CO₂ are needs 2 mol of LiOH.

And then, calculate moles of LiOH

$(45 mol 〖CO〗_(2 )×2 mol LiOH)/(1 mol 〖CO〗_2 )$ = 90 mol LiOH

Answer: are needs 90 moles of LiOH
