Question

How many grams of water are needed to react with 18.9 grams of li2o? given: li2o+h2oâ2lioh?

Answer 1

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
Li₂O + H₂O ---> 2LiOH
Stoichiometry of Li₂O to H₂O is 1:1
Mass of Li₂O reacted - 18.9 g
Number of Li₂O moles reacted - 18.9 g / 30 g/mol = 0.63 mol
An equivalent amount of moles of water have reacted - 0.63 mol
mass of water required - 0.63 mol x 18 g/mol = 11.34 g
A mass of 11.34 g of water is required
