If 12 mol if lithium were reacted with excess nitrogen gas how many moles of lithium nitride would be produced

4 moles of

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

As can be seen from the chemical equation, 6 moles of lithium reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen to produce 2 moles of lithium nitride.

Given : Lithium is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and nitrogen is the excess reagent as it is present in excess.

Now if 6 moles of lithium produces = 2 moles of

Thus 12 moles of lithium produces = of

Thus 4 moles of will be produced.
