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
