Noticing the low solubility of carbon dioxide in water, one of your coworkers becomes concerned that 1 kg of water will be required to remove every 1.5g of carbon dioxide. Considering the number of grams of CO2 you need to scrub during the 3 hour operation, your coworker worries that many pounds of water will be required - perhaps the apparatus will not be very portable. Is your coworker's concern well founded?

Additional Information:

1.5g of CO2  gas will dissolve in 1kg of water when the water is brought into contact with a large volume of T = 25C air having a carbon dioxide partial pressure of P = 1 atm

total grams of CO2 to scrub = 287g
