To balance the chemical equation Li2O + HNO3 → LiNO3 + H2O, first count the number of atoms for each element on both sides of the equation. Start by balancing the atoms that appear in only one reactant and one product, such as Li and N. In this case, you would need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of LiNO3 to balance the lithium atoms and a coefficient of 2 in front of H2O to balance the oxygen atoms. Finally, verify that all atoms are balanced on both sides of the equation.
4Li + O2 -> 2Li2O
Lithium Oxide
Li2o is Lithium oxide
Empirical formula for Lithium Peroxide Or a bad spelling for Li20
This is an interesting question! It might have something to do with the oxygen in Li20 binding more strongly than the Cl in LiCl. We've notified our experts in this category and we'll email you when there is a response.
Yes, it is, as lithium is a metal, and oxygen is a non-metal, forming an ionic bond between the two.
The chemical formula for lithium oxide is ( \text{Li}2\text{O} ), not ( \text{Li}{20} ). To calculate the molar mass of lithium oxide, you add the molar masses of its components: lithium (Li) has a molar mass of about 6.94 g/mol, and oxygen (O) has a molar mass of about 16.00 g/mol. Thus, the molar mass of ( \text{Li}_2\text{O} ) is ( 2 \times 6.94 , \text{g/mol} + 16.00 , \text{g/mol} = 29.88 , \text{g/mol} ).
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between water and Li2O is 2 H2O + Li2O -> 2 LiOH. It shows that 2 moles of water react with 1 mole of Li2O. So, 2.2 moles of Li2O would require 4.4 moles of water for complete reaction.
