Gas Stoichiometry
« on: January 24, 2015, 06:04:53 AM »
2LiOH + CO2  :rarrow: Li2CO3 + H2O
The pressure of carbon dioxide inside the cabin of a submarine having a volume of 2.4x105 L is
7.9x10-3 atm at 312K. A solution of LiOH of negligible volume is indtroduced into the cabin. Eventually the pressure of CO2 falls to 1.2x10-4 atm. How many grams of Li2CO3 are formed by this process?

My attempt :
 PV=nRT

n= PV/RT
n=           (7.9x10-3 atm)(2.4x105 L)
    __________________________________________
       (0.08206 atm L/K mol ) (312 K)


n= 74.05 mol CO2

NOw i dont know what to do next PLease help. I dont know how to get the value of moles of CO2 at 1.2x10-4 atm.

The same way you calculated the original number of moles.
