Lithium and nitrogen react in a combination reaction to produce lithium nitride: 6li (s) + n2 (g) → 2li3n (s) in a particular experiment, 4.00-g samples of each reagent are reacted. the theoretical yield of lithium nitride is g.

6.71 g

Explanation:

Limiting reagent is the reagent which limits the formation of product. Excess reagent is one which is in excess and thus remains unreacted.

Thus lithium is the limiting reagent and nitrogen is the excess reagent.

As can be seen from the balanced chemical equation,  6 moles of lithium reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen to give 2 moles of lithium nitride.

Thus 0.578 moles of lithium react with 0.096 moles of nitrogen.

6 moles of lithium give = 2 moles of lithium nitride

Thus 0.578 moles of lithium give= of lithium nitride.

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.

it would be a gas formation
