Submit your answer for the remaining reagent in tutorial assignment #1 question 9 here, including units. note: use e for scientific notation formatting (ie, write 1.23e4 for 1.23x10^4). 9. b. identify the mass of excess reagent remaining in the following system: lithium oxide is used aboard the space shuttle to remove water from the air supply according to the equation: li2o(s) + h2o(0) ► 2lioh(s). in this system, 80.0kg of water is to be removed and 65.0kg of li2o is available.

The mass of excessive water (H₂O) is 40.815 kg

The Equation for the reaction is;

Li₂O(s) + H₂O(l) → 2LiOH(s)

From the question;

Mass of water removed is 80.0 kg

Mass of available Li₂O is 65.0 kg

We are required to calculate the mass of excessive reagent.

Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Mass of water = 80 kg (but 1000 g = 1kg)

                        = 80,000 g

Therefore;

                = 4.44 × 10³ moles

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

Mass of Li₂O  available = 65.0 kg or 65,000 g

Molar mass Li₂O  = 29.88 g/mol

Moles of Li₂O  = 65,000 g ÷ 29.88 g/mol

          = 2.175 × 10³ moles Li₂O

From the equation; Li₂O(s) + H₂O(l) → 2LiOH(s)

1 mole of Li₂O reacts with 1 mole of water to form two moles of LiOH

The ratio of Li₂O to H₂O is 1:1

Therefore:

Moles of excessive water =  4.44 × 10³ moles  - 2.175 × 10³ moles

                                           = 2.265 × 10³ moles

Mass of excessive water = 2.265 × 10³ moles × 18.02 g/mol

                                          = 4.0815 × 10⁴ g or

                                          = 40.815 kg

Thus, the mass of excessive water is 40.815 kg

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
