The discussion centers on the calculation of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) production from lithium nitride (Li3N) and water (H2O) through stoichiometric relationships. The balanced chemical equation is Li3N + 3 H2O → 3 LiOH + NH3. Participants clarify the concept of limiting reagents, determining that water is the limiting reagent when 2.5 moles of Li3N are mixed with 4.5 moles of H2O, resulting in the formation of 1.5 moles of ammonia (NH3). The importance of understanding stoichiometric coefficients and the limiting reagent concept is emphasized for accurate calculations.
PREREQUISITESChemistry students, educators, and anyone involved in chemical engineering or laboratory work who seeks to deepen their understanding of stoichiometric calculations and limiting reagents in chemical reactions.
chawki said:so how many moles of HCl we get for mixing 1 mole of hydrogen and 1000000 moles of chlorine
chawki said:
ok well, isn't water the limiting reagent ?
I just watched that video and learned from it.
