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.

Mechanism with a small activation energy or one with large activation energy​
tangare [24]

Answer:

Rate depends on the rate constant. The rate constant depends on temperature and activation energy. If you have lower activation energy the rate will be higher. This is why catalysts are added since catalysts provide an alternate pathway that requires lower activation energy and catalysts are added to increase the rate of reaction.

Explanation:

This is only the answer if you were asking:

"Which corresponds to the faster rate: a mechanism with a small activation energy or one with a large activation energy?"

Thats what I understood about your question.

What is the energy of an electron in the third energy level of hydrogen?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Electrons in a hydrogen atom must be in one of the allowed energy levels. If an electron is in the first energy level, it must have exactly -13.6 eV of energy.

...

Energy Levels of Electrons.

Energy Level Energy

1 -13.6 eV

2 -3.4 eV

3 -1.51 eV

4 -.85 eV

In one experiment 7.62 g of Fe are allowed to react with 8.67 g of S
vichka [17]

calculate moles of both reagents given and the moles of FeS that each of them would form if they were in excess  

moles = mass / molar mass  

moles Fe = 7.62 g / 55.85 g/mol  

= 0.1364 moles  

1 mole Fe produces 1 mole FeS  

Therefore 7.62 g Fe can form 0.1364 moles FeS  

moles S = 8.67 g / 32.07 g/mol  

= 0.2703 moles S  

1 mole S can from 1 moles FeS  

So 8.67 g S can produce 0.2703 moles FeS  

The limiting reagent is the one that produces the least product. So Fe is limiting.  

The maximum amount of FeS possible is from complete reaction of all the limiting reagent.  

We have already determined that the Fe can form up to 0.1364 moles of FeS, so this is max amount of FeS you can get.  

Convert to mass

hope this helps :)
