Alkali metal hydroxides are sometimes used to "scrub" excess carbon dioxide from the air in closed spaces (such as submarines and spacecrafts). For example, lithium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide according to the unbalanced chemical equation.
LiOH(s) + CO2(g) Li2CO3(s) + H2O(g)
Suppose a lithium hydroxide cannister contains 145 g of LiOH(s). What mass of CO2(g) will the cannister be able to absorb?
----------------Grams?
If it is found that after 24 hours of use the cannister has absorbed 101 g of carbon dioxide, what percentage of its capacity has been reached?
---------------------%?
can someone give me some help in figuring out the grams and the % capacity for this problem?
