The reaction equation:
2Li + O → Li₂O
Molar ratio of Li to Li₂O is:
2 : 1
So if 3.03 moles of Li are present:
2/1 = 3.03 / x
x = 1.515 moles of Li₂O will be produced.
Answer:
B. Atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.
Explanation:
The best statement that describes a change that occurs in a chemical reaction is that atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.
- Chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of matter.
- The law postulates that "matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction but they are simply rearranged".
- Therefore, atoms of compounds forms new bonds by rearranging to give a new product.

Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>A chemist dissolves 660.mg of pure hydroiodic acid in enough water to make up 300.mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>
<em />
Step 1: Calculate the molarity of HI(aq)
M = mass of solute / molar mass of solute × liters of solution
M = 0.660 g / 127.91 g/mol × 0.300 L
M = 0.0172 M
Step 2: Write the acid dissociation reaction
HI(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq)
HI is a strong acid, so [H⁺] = 0.0172 M
Step 3: Calculate the pH
pH = -log [H⁺]
pH = -log 0.0172
pH = 1.76
