4. Is there enough lithium hydroxide in the filter to cleanse the cabin air of the carbon dioxide, or are the
astronauts doomed? Support your answer with your calculations and answers from above.
There is enough lithium hydroxide to cleanse the cabin air of co2 because 2 moles of LIOH is required to remove 1
mole of carbon dioxide. So if you divide 265 you would get 132.5, meaning that there is enough lithium hydroxide
to remove all of the carbon dioxide. And the lithium hydroxide could remove all the carbon dioxide the astronauts
emit since there would be 132.5 moles of lithium hydroxide left.
a. If the astronauts survive, they are not out of the woods yet! The spacecraft is sensitive to imbalances in
weight when it re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, therefore they need to be aware of the waste produced
when they use the lithium hydroxide filter. The water from this reaction can be released prior to entry,
however the solid lithium carbonate will need to be stored. The spacecraft can only account for an
additional 7.5 kg before the balance will be altered causing landing problems. Can the astronauts re-enter
the Earth's atmosphere safely or is too much solid waste produced when using the lithium hydroxide filter?
[1 mole of Li,cO, 75 grams Li,CO,
= 4.8 kg
