Question

The International Space Station is equipped with a Vika Oxygen Generator which uses the following reaction to generate oxygen. LICIO4(s) LICI (s) + 2 02 (g) Determine the mass (in kg) of LICIO, required to fill the 9.8x10 L interior volume of the International Space station with oxygen at a pressure of 0.24 atm and a temperature of 25.7 °C. You may find the following molecular weights useful: LICIO4 - 106.39 g/mol LICI - 42.394 g/mol 02 - 31.9998 g/mol Report your answer below. Do not use scientific notation, or include units. If Carmen adds zeros behind the decimal place in your answer, do not worry. Your response will be graded correctly.

Answer 1

Given information or Volume of oxygen = 9.8x109L Pressure 0 24 Alm Temperature = 25.7°C - as: 7+273'15) K = 298.85K The number of mole of oxygen is calculated as follows: PV = nRT n = PV RT = 0.24 atu. 9,8X105L 0.082 L'alu kmolax 298.85k - 2:352 mol 24:5057 noz = 0.096 mol

The reaction is given as follows: LiC10415) -> Lici(s) + 20269) According to the reaction, 2 mole of O2 t mole of Licioa . mole of O₂ h mole of Licioa 0.016 mode of a - 1X0.096 mole of Lichoa + 0.048 mole o L 4104 Mass(in kg) of LICIO4 = mole x molar máss = 0.048 mol x 106.39 g/mol - 5-106129 x 1kg T L03 g = 0.0051 kg
