<h3>Answer:</h3>

Limiting reactant is Lithium

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  1. Mass of Lithium as 1.50 g
  2. Mass of nitrogen is 1.50 g

We are required to determine the rate limiting reagent.

  • First, we write the balanced equation for the reaction

6Li(s) + N₂(g) → 2Li₃N

From the equation, 6 moles of Lithium reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen.

  • Second, we determine moles of Lithium and nitrogen given.

Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass

Moles of Lithium

Molar mass of Li = 6.941 g/mol

Moles of Li = 1.50 g ÷ 6.941 g/mol

                   = 0.216 moles

Moles of nitrogen gas

Molar mass of Nitrogen gas is 28.0 g/mol

Moles of nitrogen gas = 1.50 g ÷ 28.0 g/mol

                                     = 0.054 moles

  • According to the equation, 6 moles of Lithium reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen.
  • Therefore, 0.216 moles of lithium will require 0.036 moles (0.216 moles ÷6) of nitrogen gas.
  • On the other hand, 0.054 moles of nitrogen, would require 0.324 moles of Lithium.

Thus, Lithium is the limiting reagent while nitrogen is in excess.

Which is an example of an object increasing its kinetic energy
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The answer to this question is the A choice. A rocket before launch.

Explanation:

In the definition of kinetic energy, it says: In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
