The carbon dioxide exhaled by sailors in a submarine is often removed by reaction with an aqueous lithium hydroxide solution. (a) Write a balanced equation for this process. (Hint: The products are water and a soluble salt.) (b) If every sailor consumes 1.2 × 104 kJ of energy every day and assuming that this energy is totally supplied by the metabolism of glucose (C6H12O6), calculate the amounts of CO2 produced and LiOH required to purify the air.
