Carbon dioxide in air can be removed by an aqueous metal hydroxide solution such as LiOH and Ba(OH)2.
(a) Write equations for the reactions. (Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid.)
(b) Calculate the mass of CO, that can be removed by 5.00 x 10 mL of a 0.800 M LiOH and a 0.800 M Ba(OH)2 solution.
(c) Which solution would you choose for use in a space capsule and which for use in a submarine?
