6Li + N2 2Li3N


If 12 mol of lithium were reacted with excess nitrogen gas, how many moles of lithium nitride would be produced?


4.0 mol

6.0 mol

12 mol

36 mol

Verified Answer :

The answer would be B ur looking for the total reaction and the time that it takes for it I be produced Wich would be 6.0

Answer : The correct option is, 4.0 mole

Explanation : Given,

Moles of lithium = 12 mole

The given balanced chemical reaction is:

\(6Li+N_2\rightarrow 2Li_3N\)

By the stoichiometry we can say that, 6 moles of Li react with 1 mole of \(N_2\) to give 2 moles of \(Li_3N\)

As, 6 moles of lithium react to give 2 moles of lithium nitride

So, 12 moles of lithium react to give \(\frac{12}{6}\times 2=4\) moles of lithium nitride

Therefore, the number of moles of lithium nitride produced will be 4.0 mole.
