To what do the designations s and g refer?arrow_forwardThe carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation for the reaction between (a) dihydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide gases to form sulfur solid and steam.

- A pollutant in smog is nitrogen dioxide, NO2. The gas has a reddish brown color and is responsible for the red-brown color associated with this type of air pollution. Nitrogen dioxide is also a contributor to acid rain because when rain passes through air contaminated with NO2, it dissolves and undergoes the following reaction: 3NO2(g) + H₂O → NO(g) + 2H+ (aq) + 2NO3(aq). In this reaction, which element is reduced and which is oxidized? His both reduced and oxidized. O is oxidized and H is reduced. O is oxidized and N is reduced. ON is both reduced and oxidized. N is oxidized and His reduced. N is oxidized and O is reduced. Farrow_forwardQ) Drinking water may contain several unwanted ions such as phosphate ions. In order to remove the phosphate ions from the drinking water, a solution of calcium hydroxide can be added. As a result, a solid Ca5OH(PO4)3 is formed and isolated by filtration and a hydroxide ion are also formed. The reaction for this process is below: 5 Ca(OH)2 (aq) + PO43- (aq) → Ca5OH(PO4)3 (s) + OH- (aq) a) If 3.00 mL of 0.100 M calcium hydroxide is mixed with 4.00 mL of an aqueous solution of 0.0800 M phosphate ions (PO43-).
