In an undisturbed sequence of layers of rocks, the younger layers lie on top of the older layers
Answer:
4.5 moles of lithium sulfate are produced.
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of lead sulfate = 2.25 mol
Number of moles of lithium nitrate = 9.62 mol
Number of moles of lithium sulfate = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Pb(SO₄)₂ + 4LiNO₃ → Pb(NO₃)₄ + 2Li₂SO₄
Now we will compare the moles of lithium sulfate with lead sulfate and lithium nitrate.
Pb(SO₄)₂ : Li₂SO₄
1 : 2
2.25 : 2/1×2.25 = 4.5 mol
LiNO₃ : Li₂SO₄
4 : 2
9.62 : 2/4×9.62 = 4.81 mol
Pb(SO₄)₂ produces less number of moles of Li₂SO₄ thus it will act as limiting reactant and limit the yield of Li₂SO₄.
