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.

Why is performing extraction with several small portions of a solvent more officient than a single extraction with the same tota
elena55 [62]

With various extractions the amount of material left in the trash will be lower, ergo the extraction will be more perfect. Various extractions with fewer amounts of solvent are more efficient than a single extraction with a huge amount of solvent.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Surely multiple extractions are better than the single large extraction. Because extraction is about maximizing outside field communication between the two solvents, and you easily get more surface area contact with fewer amounts.

You can merge two smaller portions quicker and more completely than with large portions.

You have 400 kg of a radioactive substance with a short half-life of 1000 years. how much will be left after these times?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Half-life of a radioactive substance is the time required to reduce the amount of substance to half of its initial amount. 

In present case, half-life is material is given as 1000 years and initial amount of material is given as 400 kg
 
Answer 1) Since, half-life of radio-active substance is 1000 years, therefore after 1st half life, amount of the material will be left to half the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 1000 years = 400/2 = 200 kg.

Answer 2) For 2000 years, radioactive material has crossed 2 times the half life. Therefore ,  amount of the material will be left to 1/4 the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 2000 years = 400/4 = 100 kg.

Answer 3) 
 For 4000 years, radioactive material has crossed 4 times the half life. Therefore , amount of the material will be left to 1/16 the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 4000 years = 400/16 = 25 kg.
