Chapter 6, Problem 6.127QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mass of lithium hydroxide needed to remove the ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ produced by the astronaut in $24\text{ hour}$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The formula to calculate mass as per the ideal gas equation is as follows:

  $m=\frac{MPV}{RT}$

Here,

$R$ is the universal gas constant.

$V$ denotes the volume.

$m$ denotes the mass.

$M$ denotes the molar mass.

$T$ denotes the temperature.

$P$ denotes the pressure.
