Note that butane has two possible isomers but that decane has 75 possible isomers. Why does the number of possible isomers go up

with an increasing number of carbon atoms?
Chemistry

Because the number of constitutional, conformational, and geometric isomers goes up with each carbon atom added. There are many more possible configurations and connectivities possible with decane, a 10 carbon chain, than with butane, a 4 carbon chain.

Lithium and nitrogen react in a combination reaction to produce lithium nitride: 6Li (s) + N2 (g) → 2Li3N (s) In a particular ex
seraphim [82]

Answer: 6.71 g

Explanation: 6Li(s)+N_2(g)\rightarrow 2Li_3N

{\text{no of moles}}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

{\text {moles of lithium}}=\frac{4g}{6.914g/mol}=0.578moles

\text{moles of nitrogen}=\frac{4g}{28g/mol}=0.143moles

Limiting reagent is the reagent which limits the formation of product. Excess reagent is one which is in excess and thus remains unreacted.

Thus lithium is the limiting reagent and nitrogen is the excess reagent.

As can be seen from the balanced chemical equation,  6 moles of lithium reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen to give 2 moles of lithium nitride.

Thus 0.578 moles of lithium react with 0.096 moles of nitrogen.

6 moles of lithium give = 2 moles of lithium nitride

Thus 0.578 moles of lithium give=\frac{2}{6}\times {0.578}=0.19moles of lithium nitride.

Mass of lithium nitride Li_3N={\text {no of moles}}\times {\text {Molecular mass}}

Mass of lithium nitrideLi_3N={0.192moles}\times {34.83g/mol}=6.71g
