Stoichiometric Calculations The Problem Lithium hydroxide is used in an outer space environment to remove excess exhaled carbon dioxide from the living environment. The products of the reaction are lithium carbonate and water. If 48.0 grams of lithium hydroxide are used in a small scale experimental device, how much carbon dioxide will the device process? When 48.0 grams of lithium hydroxide are available for use in a reaction, 44 grams of carbon dioxide can be processed by the reaction.
