Answer:

The answer to your question is letter D

Explanation:

Data

mass of Li = 4.5 g

mass of N₂ = 4.5 g

limiting reactant = ?

Reaction

                         6Li (s)   +   N₂ (g)   ⇒  2Li₃N

This reaction is balanced

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of the reactants

Li = 7 x 6 = 42g

N = 14 x 2 = 28 g

Calculate the limiting reactant using proportions

Theoretical proportion    Li / N = 42 / 28 = 1.5

Experimental proportion   Li/N  = 4.5/4.5 = 1

As the experimental proportion was lower than the theoretical, the limiting reactant is Lithium

2.- Calculate the theoretical yield of Li₃N

                        42 g of lithium --------------  70 g of Li₃N

                        4.5 g of lithium -------------   x

                        x = (4.5 x 70) / 42

                        x = 315 / 42

                     <u>   x = 7.5 %</u>

PLEASE HELP Determine the number of neutrons for the given isotopes:
zepelin [54]
<span>Helium = 1
Carbon = 8
Nitrogen = 8
Strontium = 52
Tellurium = 71

If you look on a periodic table, on each element there is a number on the top left. This represents the number of protons in an atom. Protons have a mass of 1 (in relative to Carbon-13)

If we take nitrogen-15 for example; The number 15 tells you that the isotope has a mass of 15. Now if you look on the periodic table, Nitrogen has a proton number of 7. Only protons and neutrons have a mass, electrons are considered to be negligable. Therefore the number of neutrons Nitrogen-15 contains is 15 - 7 = 8 </span>
