Answer:

About 10.2 g Li₃N.

Explanation:

We are given the reaction:

\displaystyle \text{6 Li(s) + N$_2$(g) }\longrightarrow \text{2 Li$_3$N(s)}

And we want to determine the amount of Li₃N that can be formed from 6.07 g of Li and an excess of nitrogen.

To convert from g Li to g Li₃N, we can: (1) convert from g Li to mol Li, (2) mol Li to mol Li₃N, and (3) mol Li₃N to g Li₃N.

  1. The molecular weight of Li is 6.94 g/mol.
  2. From the equation, six moles of Li yields two moles of Li₃N.
  3. And the molecular weight of Li₃N is 34.83 g/mol as shown below.

Molecular weight of Li₃N:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{MW}_\text{Li$_3$N} & = (3 (6.94) + 14.01) \text{ g/mol} \\ \\ & =34.83\text{ g/mol} \end{aligned}

This yields three ratios:

\displaystyle \frac{1 \text{ mol Li}}{6.94 \text{ g Li}}, \frac{2 \text{ mol Li$_3$N}}{6 \text{ mol Li}}, \text{ and } \frac{34.83 \text{ g Li$_3$N}}{1 \text{ mol Li$_3$N}}

From the initial value, multiply:

\displaystyle 6.07 \text{ g Li} \cdot \frac{ 1 \text{ mol Li}}{6.94 \text{ g Li}} \cdot \frac{2 \text{ mol Li$_3$N}}{6 \text{ mol Li}} \cdot \frac{34.83 \text{ g Li$_3$N}}{1 \text{ mol Li$_3$N}} = 10.2\text{ g Li$_3$N}

In conclusion, 10.2 g of Li₃N is formed from 6.07 g of Li and an excess of nitrogen.

Which pair of elements is most apt to form an ionic compound with each other?
sweet [91]
Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed together by a cation and an anion. A cation is an ion with a positive charge. For example, Na+ and Ca2+. An ion has a negative charge, like Cl- and OH-. There is a greater chance of forming an ionic compound when they have a great difference in electronegativity, the ability to attract electrons toward itself. In the periodic table, elements that are opposite to each other, more likely found in opposite sides, would be more apt to form an ionic compound. Example would be NaCl and CaCl2 or Ca(OH)2.

Hydrobromic acid, HBr, is a strong acid. Hydrofluoric acid, HF, is a weak acid. If you prepared equal
snow_tiger [21]
HBr and HF are both monoprotic Arrhenius acids—that is, in aqueous solution, they dissociate and ionize to give hydrogen ions. A strong acid ionizes completely; a weak acid ionizes partially.

In this case, HBr, being a strong acid, would ionize completely in water to yield H+ and Br- ions. However, HF, being a weak acid, would ionize only to a limited extent: some of the HF molecules will ionize into H+ and F- ions, but most of the HF will remain undissociated.

pH is, by definition, a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution (pH = -log[H+]). A higher concentration of hydrogen ions gives a lower pH, while a lower concentration of hydrogen ions gives a higher pH. At 25 °C, a pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution; a pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution; and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution.

If we have equal concentrations of HBr and HF, then the HBr solution will have a greater concentration of hydrogen ions in solution than the HF solution. Consequently, the pH of the HBr solution will be less than the pH of the HF solution.

Choice A is incorrect: Strong acids like HBr dissociate completely, not partially.

Choice B is incorrect: While the initial concentration of HBr and HF are the same, the H+ concentration in the HBr solution is greater. Since pH is a function of H+ concentration, the pH of the two solutions cannot be the same.

Choice C is correct: A greater H+ concentration gives a lower pH value. The HBr solution has the greater H+ concentration. Thus, the pH of the HBr solution would be less than that of the HF solution.

Choice D is incorrect for the reason why choice C is correct.
