Question

5) Solid lithium metal is added to an aqueous solution of magnesium chloride forming lithium chloride solution and
solid magnesium
a. If you begin the reaction with 15.0 g of lithium and 25.0 g of magnesium chloride, what is the maximum
number of grams of solid magnesium would you produce?
b. What is the limiting reagent?
C. How many grams of lithium chloride would also be produced?
d. How many grams of excess product would remain?
e. If you produce 5.25 g of solid magnesium, what is your percent yield?

Answer 1

Answer:

b

Explanation:

What does lithium and chlorine make?

While not a normal route of preparation because of the expense, lithium metal reacts vigorously with all the halogens to form sodium halides. So, it burns with chlorine, Cl2, to form lithium(I) chloride, LiCl. 2Li(s) + Cl2(g) → 2LiCl(s)
