The reaction would written as:

2Li + 2H2O = 2LiOH + H2

We are given the amount in volume of the hydrogen gas that is produced. Assuming that this gas is an ideal gas, we use the relation that in every 1 mol of gas, 22.4 L is being occupied.

75.5 mL ( 1 L / 1000 mL ) ( 1 mol / 22.4 L ) = 0.0034 mol H2 produced

0.0034 mol H2 ( 2 mol Li / 1 mol H2 ) ( 6.941 g / mol ) = 0.0472 g Li is needed

The reaction equation may be written as:
2Li + 2H₂O → 2LiOH + H₂

A single mole of gas occupies 22,400 ml of gas at STP. Therefore, the moles of hydrogen gas are
75.5 / 22,400 = 0.0034 mol
According to the equation, the moles of lithium are twice that of hydrogen gas; thus,
0.0034 x 2 = 0.0068 mol

The mass of lithium is given by:
mass = moles x atomic mass
mass = 0.0068 x 6.9
mass = 0.047 grams

In your own words, please describe the difference between a complete ionic equation and a net ionic equation.
beks73 [17]

Explanation:

In the molecular equation for a reaction, all of the reactants and products are represented as neutral molecules (even soluble ionic compounds and strong acids). In the complete ionic equation, soluble ionic compounds and strong acids are rewritten as dissociated ions.

The net ionic equation is a chemical equation for a reaction that lists only those species participating in the reaction. The net ionic equation is commonly used in acid-base neutralization reactions, double displacement reactions, and redox reactions.
