3. (15 pts) Lithium oxide (Li2O) is used aboard the space shuttle to remove water from the
air supply according to the equation:
Li2O(s) + H2O(g) 2 LiOH(s)

limiting. How many kilograms of the excess reactant remains and how many moles and
kilograms of LiOH are formed?
4. (9 pts) Find the pH or pOH of each of the following solutions (hint: all chemicals are
