Question

The chemical equation below shows the reaction between carbon dioxide (CO2) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH). CO2 + 2LiOH mc011-1.jpg Li2CO3 + H2O The molar mass CO2 is 44.01 g/mol. How many moles of LiOH are needed to react completely with 25.5 g of CO2?

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

From the given balanced chemical equation,
CO2 + 2LiOH --> Li2CO3 + H2O
we can conclude that for every 2 moles of LiOH, we need a mole of CO2. Calculate first the number of moles of CO2 by dividing the given mass by the molar mass giving us an answer of 0.58 moles. Using proportionality,
0.58 / x = 1 / 2
The value of x is equal to 1.16 moles.
