The carbon dioxide that is exhaled by astronauts who are on a space shuttle is scrubbed by pumping the air through canisters of lithium hydroxide, LiOH. The chemical equation for this reaction is:

2 LiOH(s) + CO2(g) -> Li2CO3(s) + H2O(l)

a) What mass of carbon dioxide can 1.00 kg of lithium hydroxide absorb?

b) What mass of lithium carbonate, Li2CO3, is produced?

I checked online to see if I did it right and actually found 2 posts with the same question, however both say something different than I got:

My answers are in the attachment, if someone could let me know if I got it right or not!

[DrCMS]

a) looks OK
b) check the molecular mass of lithium carbonate

Upper frame - initial data. Lower frame - results.

oops I didn't edit that part, I had forgotten the 2 for Li2 in the initial calculations, the answer is supposed to be 1543.93 g

ps how many decimal points should I use, just one?

[Borek]

How many significant digits in 1.00?
