Question

What is the molar ratio of Li to N2 in the given reaction? 6Li+N2 —> 2Li3N

Answer 1

The molar ratio of Li to N2 in the equation 6Li + N2 —> 2Li3N is:

6 moles Li / 1 mole N2

This is because this equation is balanced, and therefore the mole ratios exist just as they do in the reactants of the equation (there are 6 parts Li per each part N2 in order to create the product; this also holds true for moles).

Hope this helps!
