Lithium hydroxide, like sodium hydroxide, becomes contaminated when exposed to air. What is the source of this contamination? (Select all that apply.) O water a carbon dioxide acid rain hydrogen peroxide O ozone What reactions take place? (Include states-of-matter under SATP conditions in your answer. Use the lowest possible coefficients.) first reaction (LiOH contaminate(s)) chemPad Help Greek? second reaction (product from above reaction contaminate(s)) chemPad HelpExplanation / Answer
LiOH (s) + Contaminants (st) = LiOH.H2O (aq) + Li2CO3 (s) + H2O (st)
Second Reaction:
Li2CO3 (s) + H2O (st) + CO2 (g) = LiHCO3 (s)
