Lithium is in group 1 of the Periodic Table, so it must lose one electron in order to attain a full outer energy level and become stable.

How many grams of lithium nitrate will be needed to make 250 grams of lithium sulfate?

To calculate the amount of lithium nitrate needed to make lithium sulfate, first determine the molar masses of the two compounds. Then, use stoichiometry and the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between lithium nitrate and lithium sulfate to find the quantity needed. This will depend on the stoichiometry of the reaction between lithium nitrate and lithium sulfate.


How many grams of lithium nitrate will be needed to make 250 grams of lithium sulfate assuming that you have an adequate amount of lead sulfate to do the reaction?

To determine the number of grams of lithium nitrate needed to make 250 grams of lithium sulfate, you need to calculate the molar mass of lithium sulfate and lithium nitrate, then use stoichiometry to find the ratio of lithium nitrate to lithium sulfate. Finally, apply this ratio to find the mass of lithium nitrate needed for the reaction. Lead sulfate is not involved in this calculation as it is not part of the reaction between lithium nitrate and lithium sulfate.


What is the oxidation number of Li?

The oxidation number for Li, or Lithium, is Li+1. Lithium is in the first family on the Periodic Table. Since the element wants to become stable, and it only it needs 8 valence electrons. So therefore, it has to lose an electron. Losing an electron will make it a positive oxidation number.


How many electrons are needed in the outer energy level to make H stable?

Only 1 electron needed to make H stable.


How many grams of lithium nirate will be needed to make 250 grams of lithium sulfate assuming that you have an adequate amount of lead sulfate to do the reaction?

To find out the grams of lithium nitrate needed, you need to calculate the molar mass of lithium sulfate (Li2SO4) and lithium nitrate (LiNO3). Then use stoichiometry to determine the amount of lithium nitrate required to produce 250 grams of lithium sulfate. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction would also be needed.


What elements make up lithium and nitrate?

Lithium is an element itself, it is simply Li. Nitrate is Nitrogen and Oxygen, the -ate ending denoting an oxide ion!

That is the element, "Oxygen".


Is lithium an atom or an ion?

If you just say lithium, it's probable you are referring to an atom. Lithium however can form an ion, Li+ (where the + should be a superscript). Without knowing the context it is not possible to give a definitive answer.


How do you prevent a unstable salt from oxidising?

You must make it stable if it is unstable it will oxidise by definition. You would have to add another element to make the compound stable but you would then be changing it to a stable salt.


What element has four protons four electrons and five neutrons?

There are too many electrons. This would be a negative ion of lithium-6 (stable but less common isotope) that does not occur naturally. The element with 3 electrons, 3 protons, and *4 neutrons* is lithium-7, the most common isotope. It forms a stable positive ion (2 electrons).
