    12.5 g of Li are needed in order toproduce 0.60 moles of Li₃N

    Explanation:

    The reaction is:

    6Li (s) + N₂ (g) → 2Li₃N (s)

    If nitrogen is in excess, the lithium is the limiting reactant.

    Ratio is 2:6

    2 moles of nitride were produced by 6 moles of Li

    Then, 0.6 moles of nitride were produced by (0.6.6) / 2 = 1.8 moles of Li

    Let's convert the moles to mass → 1.8 mol. 6.94 g / 1mol = 12.5 g of Li

    We need 1.80 moles of lithium

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Moles Li3N = 0.60 moles

    Step 2: The balanced equation

    6Li (s) + N2 (g) → 2Li3N (s)

    Step 3: Calculate moles Li

    For 2 moles Li3N produced we need 6 moles Li and 1 mol N2

    For 0.60 moles Li3N we need 3*0.60 = 1.80 moles Li

    We need 1.80 moles of lithium
