ithium metal reacts with water to give lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. if 75.5 mL of hydrogen gas is produce at STP, what is
Galina-37 [17]
The reaction equation may be written as:
2Li + 2H₂O → 2LiOH + H₂

A single mole of gas occupies 22,400 ml of gas at STP. Therefore, the moles of hydrogen gas are
75.5 / 22,400 = 0.0034 mol
According to the equation, the moles of lithium are twice that of hydrogen gas; thus,
0.0034 x 2 = 0.0068 mol

The mass of lithium is given by:
mass = moles x atomic mass
mass = 0.0068 x 6.9
mass = 0.047 grams

One question for chem?? Image attached? please help ! :)

The only bond that involves the complete transfer of electrons is ionic bonding.

A metal that does not have much care for its electrons, such as Sodium, Na, is willing to give up its electron more freely. And an atom that really cares about having electrons might be a gas such as chlorine, Cl. The Chlorine atom takes the electron from Sodium, and then the newly formed ions of Na+ and Cl- bond because they have equal and opposite charges and opposites attract. NaCl is formed.

Hydrogen bonds aren’t actually real bonds (I know, the name is deceptive)

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.

I’m pretty sure metallic bonds is a made-up term.

Which two subatomic particles do you add together to determine the atomic mass or mass # of the atom?
raketka [301]

Answer:

Protons and Neutrons

Explanation:

The sum of number of protons and the number of neutrons is equal to the mass of an element. Mathematically, it can be given as :

M = P + N

Also, the atomic mass can be calculated by the sum of the element's isotopes as isotopes have slightly different mass numbers.

Hence, protons and neutrons add together to determine the atomic mass.
