<u>Answer</u>:

The inner walls of a vacuum flask have a silver coating to reduce heat loss by radiation.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The vacuum flask has an inner silver lining to prevent the transfer of  heat by radiation. Radiation is a process where the emission or transformation of energy happens in the form of wave or the  particles through the material medium.

Vacuum flask being working as thermal insulator helps in maintaining the substance its actual temperature for a long time. The silver lining acts as a reflector .It  prevents the heat radiation to released out of the flask.

Lithium and nitrogen react in a combination reaction to produce lithium nitride: 6Li(s) + N2(g) → 2Li3N(s) How many moles of lit
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

12.5 g of Li are needed in order toproduce 0.60 moles of Li₃N

Explanation:

The reaction is:

6Li(s) + N₂(g) → 2Li₃N(s)

If nitrogen is in excess, the lithium is the limiting reactant.

Ratio is 2:6

2 moles of nitride were produced by 6 moles of Li

Then, 0.6 moles of nitride were produced by (0.6 .6)/ 2 = 1.8 moles of Li

Let's convert the moles to mass → 1.8 mol . 6.94 g/ 1mol = 12.5 g of Li

Virty [35]
Explain whether this is a chemical or physical change, and why. does it involve elements, compounds, mixtures, or pure substances?

If the process involves a chemical reaction then surely it is a chemical change where new bonds are being formed from the collision of the reactants.

Describe how many atoms are involved before and after. what do you notice about the number of atoms?

From the balanced chemical reaction, we see that we need 1 mol of N2 gas and 3 mol of H2 in order to form 2 mol of NH3.
