Question

Write and balance the chemical equation for the reaction associated with ΔHof of Li3N(s). What is the sum of all of the coefficients in your balanced chemical equation? (Ex: the answer would be 5 for the reaction: 2 CO + O2 -> 2 CO2) Enter your answer numerically.

Answer 1

Explanation:

In this reaction, the reactants are Li and N2. The product is Li3N

So we have;

Li + N2 → Li3N

Upon balancing, we have;

6Li + N2 → 2 Li3N

The sum of the coefficients is 6 + 1 + 2 = 9
