86.1 g of nitrogen reacts with lithium, how many grams of lithium will react?

128g of Li, will react in this reaction

Explanation:

Before to start working, we need the reaction:

N₂ and Li react, in order to produce Li₃N (lithium nitride)

N₂ + 6Li → 2Li₃N

1 mol of nitrogen reacts with 6 moles of lithium

We convert the mass of N₂ to moles → 86.1 g. 1 mol / 28g = 3.075 moles

1 mol of N₂ reacts with 6 mol of Li

Therefore, 3.075 moles of N₂ will react with 18.4 moles of Li

We conver the moles to mass → 18.4 mol. 6.94g / 1mol = 128 g
