Lithium is very reactive and a layer of compounds such as the oxide build up on the surface. This slows the initial reaction. Also, if the lithium is stored in oil and this is not removed it may keep the water away from the metal.

How do you do Na l2 Nal?

To perform the reaction of sodium (Na) with lithium (Li) to form sodium lithium (NaLi), you typically start by ensuring that both metals are in a suitable state for reaction, often in their liquid or gaseous forms. The reaction occurs when sodium is heated and then introduced to lithium, leading to the formation of an alloy or intermetallic compound. This process should be conducted under controlled conditions due to the reactivity of sodium with moisture and air. Always follow safety protocols when handling reactive metals.

Either an energy source to start the reaction or a catalyst.


If it takes more energy to start a reaction than there is energy produced in the reaction the reaction is called exergonic?

The statement is incorrect. A reaction that requires more energy to start than it produces is called endergonic. In contrast, an exergonic reaction releases more energy than it consumes, making it energetically favorable. Endergonic reactions typically require an input of energy to proceed, often driven by coupling with exergonic processes.
