Answer:

the conversion factor is f= 6  mol of glucose/ mol of CO2

Explanation:

First we need to balance the equation:

C6H12O6(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l) (unbalanced)

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) (balanced)

the conversion factor that allows to calculate the number of moles of CO2 based on moles of glucose is:

f = stoichiometric coefficient of CO2 in balanced reaction / stoichiometric coefficient of glucose in balanced reaction

f = 6 moles of CO2 / 1 mol of glucose = 6  mol of glucose/ mol of CO2

f = 6 mol of CO2/ mol of glucose

for example, for 2 moles of glucose the number of moles of CO2 produced are

n CO2 = f * n gluc = 6 moles of CO2/mol of glucose * 2 moles of glucose= 12 moles of CO2

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
