I think the answer is D in my opinion
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
The number of bacteria is given by:
N(t) = N(o) x 2ⁿ
Where N(t) is the number after n hours have passed and N(o) is the original number which is 15.
The number grown in the 12th hour is the difference in the number after the 11th and the 12th hour. Thus:
15 x 2¹² - 15 x 2¹¹
= 30,720 bacteria
