How do they recycle oxygen in a space shuttle?
I don't know about recycling oxygen. But I know they remove exhaled (carbon dioxide)CO2 in the living environments by using (solid lithium hydroxide) LiOH that bonds with CO2 to form (solid lithium carbonate) Li2CO3 and (water) H2O.
How do astronauts get rid of CO2?
Carbon Dioxide is absorbed by Lithium hydroxide canisters that are changed periodically in the space shuttles!
What is the space shuttle external tank made of?
The Space Shuttle External Tank is made primarily from Aluminum/Lithium alloys, AL-2090 and AL-2195.
How is the sun like a giant nuclear reactor?
The sun actually is a giant nuclear fusion reactor, not fission like you see here on earth. The difference is that on earth, we can split atoms to break bonds and release energy. The result is weapons and electricity and nuclear waste. The sun however fuses atoms together to make new ones. An example of this is two hydrogen---->1 helium, 1 helium and one hydrogen----> one Lithium, etc. Energy is again released when the atomic bonds are broken and atoms remade, though no nuclear waste this time.
What is the composition of nebula?
A solar nebula is made of (roughly) the same chemical composition as a star, namely: 70% Hydrogen 28% Helium 2% random molecules, for example Carbon-12 and Lithium.
Do you think that thermal energy stored in lithium fluoride be used to generate all of the electricity used on earth at night?
Yes
What happens when a lithium ion is attracted to an fluoride ion?
Lithium ions form bonds with fluoride ions to form an ionic compound: lithium fluoride (LiF).
What is the chemical formula for lithium fluorine?
LiF ( Note the use and position of capitals and small case letters.
What is the name for the ionic compound LiF?
lithium fluoride
What type of bond is formed with lithium and fluoride?
Ionic bond in lithium fluoride.
Is lithium fluoride organic?
No. Lithium fluoride contains only lithium and fluorine. An organic compound must contain carbon.
What kind of bonds are involved in lithium fluoride?
Lithium fluoride is an salt held together by ionic bonds.
Lithium and fluorine?
An ionic compound, lithium fluoride.
Does molten lithium conduct electricity?
Solid lithium fluoride does not conduct electricity, but either dissolved in water or in molten form lithium fluoride is an excellent conductor.
What compound do lithium and florine make?
lithium fluoride, LiF
How do you write a formula of lithium florid?
Lithium Fluoride = LiF
Why lithium fluoride is a neutral compound even though it is made up of ions that have posotive and negative charges?
Lithium ions have a charge of +1 and fluoride ions have a charge of -1. The formula unit for lithium fluoride is LiF, which means that the lithium and fluoride ions are present in a 1:1 ratio. So the positive and negative charges cancel each other, and the compound lithium fluoride is neutral.
