A student weighed 0.550 g of lithium chloride LiCl to use in a reaction How many moles is this?

To calculate the number of moles of lithium chloride (LiCl) in 0.550 g, you need to divide the mass by the molar mass of LiCl. The molar mass of LiCl is approximately 42.39 g/mol (6.94 g/mol for Li and 35.45 g/mol for Cl). Therefore, 0.550 g of LiCl is approximately 0.013 moles.


What is the forumula of lithium chloride?

The formula for lithium chloride is LiCl.


Why melting point of LiCl is lower than NaCl?

Using polarizing theory: Li+ has a smaller atomic radius than Na+. However they both have the same charge, +1. The Cl- is identical in both compounds, and has a large electron cloud surrounding it. Using the equation for static force: F=kq1q2/r2 where k is Coulomb's constant, q1 is the charge of the Li+ or Na+ cation, q2 is the charge of an electron in the chlorine electron cloud, and r is the distance between the chlorine electron and the Li+ or Na+ nucleus. we see that the force increases with a smaller radius r. Since the Li+ ion is smaller, the chlorine electrons are closer to the nucleus, and thus these electrons are drawn even closer to the Li+ nucleus. All together, the electrons from the chlorine in LiCl are pulled around the Li+ ion to a much further extent than they are pulled around the Na+ in NaCl. Therefore the bond in LiCl has a much more covalent character than NaCl. Bond polarity is also reduced, since the electrons are not spending all of their time around the Cl-. Since the LiCl molecules are less polar than NaCl, there are less electrostatic forces holding them together in a solid crystal lattice. Therefore the energy required to loosen the molecules from a crystal to a liquid is less for LiCl than NaCl. Finally we come to the conclusion that therefore, the melting temperature of LiCl must be lower than NaCl

Why LiCl acquires pink color when heated in Li vapours?

The pink coloration of LiCl when heated in Li vapors is due to the formation of LiCl:Li complex. The Li atoms donate electrons to the Cl atoms in LiCl, causing a charge-transfer transition that results in the pink color.

Does the compound LiCL have ionic or covalent bonding?

The compound LiCl has ionic bonding. Lithium (Li) is a metal with one valence electron, which easily transfers to chlorine (Cl), a nonmetal with seven valence electrons, forming Li+ cations and Cl- anions which attract each other through ionic bonds.

What is the chemical formula for lithium chloride?

Li is the elemental symbol for lithium, which is not a chemical, but an element or chemical element. Chemical elements are the building blocks of chemicals but are not themselves chemicals. Therefore, Li has no chemical formula.
