On a space shuttle, LiOH is used to absorb exhaled CO2 from breathing air to form LiHCO3. What is the percent yield of the reaction if 25.0 g of LiOH gives 58.1 g of LiHCO3?

LiOH(s) + CO2(g) → LiHCO3(s)

Hint: Calculate the Theoretical Yield first, then compute the % yield.

molar mass LiOH = 23.95 g/mol

molar mass LiHCO3 = 67.96 g/mol

Imagine a case of reverse evolution – an animal evolved water-breathing from an air-breathing ancestor. Design the gas transport cascade for such an imaginary vertebrate taxon, which breathes water, can support O2 consumption rate of at least 50 mlO2/kg/min. You do NOT need to concern yourself with HOW this beastly transformation occurred, but you DO need to make sure that EACH STEP of the O2 transport cascade works quantitatively. Show your calculations for each step of the cascade. Your numbers...

What are two (2) advantages of breathing air, compared with obtaining Dissolved Oxygen from water? (choose two answers) Air is much lighter and easier to move than water making respiration easier Air contains a much higher concentration of Oxygen than water Breathing atmospheric air does not require any loss of water Air-breathing requires no energy to ventilate the respiratory surfaces The reason animals need a continuous supply of Oxygen is to obtain the most energy from their food. make Carbon...
