To determine the limiting reactant, we divide the number of moles to its corresponding stoichiometric coefficient. Balancing the equation above, we get 4 Li + O2 = 2Li2O. For lithium, the result is 2.1 and for oxygen, the result is 4.6. The limiting reactant has the smaller ratio. So, the limitin reactant is lithium.

Answer: Lithium

Explanation: The balanced chemical equation is:

4Li+O_2\rightarrow 2Li_2O

It can be seen, 4 moles of lithium combines with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of lithium oxide.

Thus 8.4 moles of lithium combines with=\frac{1}{4}\times {8.4}=2.1molesof oxygen gas to produce 4.2 moles of lithium oxide.

As, Lithium limits the formation of product, it is the limiting reagent and Oxygen gas is present in excess, it is called the excess reagent. (4.6-2.1)=2.5 moles of oxygen gas are present in excess.

Increasing the temperature of the solvent ____________________ the solubility of a solid solute and _______________________ the
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

increase in solvent temperature will increase the solubility of solid particle but decreases the solubility of gas particle.

Explanation:

In solid particle when temperature increases its help to break apart the solid particle and increase in kinetic energy of solvent results in increase in solubility of solid particles in solvent.

but in gas solute, increase in temperature of solvent causes the increase in motion of gas molecules means increase in kinetic energy of molecules in the gas which results in breakage of inter molecular bonds and removal of the molecules from the heated solution.
