Carbon dioxide, at high concentrations, is toxic to the human body. In the Apollo moon missions, carbon dioxide scrubbers are used to maintain the level of carbon dioxide at a safe level in the space modules. The carbon dioxide scrubbers contain canisters of lithium hydroxide. Suggest an explanation how the carbon dioxide scrubber works and give a balanced equation (without state symbols and assuming that the relevant chemicals can react directly with each other) to support your answer.

The characteristics of two different types of reactions are shown below: reaction a: electrons are gained by the atoms of an element. reaction b: protons are lost by the atom of an element. which statement is true about the atoms of the elements that participate in the two reactions? their identity changes in both reaction a and reaction b. their identity changes in reaction a but not in reaction b. their identity changes in reaction b but not in reaction a. their identity remains the same in both reaction a and reaction b.
