Lithium and water conclusion

0.050 g of lithium is 0.050 ÷ 6.94 = 0.0072 mol of Li

Assuming molar gas volume at RTP = 24000 cm3 mol-1

We collected 83 cm3 of hydrogen gas

83 ÷ 24000 = 0.0035 mol of H2

This give a ratio Li:H2 of 0.0072/0.0035:1 or 2.06:1

2 Li to 1 H2 clearly shows that equation 1 must be the correct one:

1.

2Li(s) + 2H2O(l) 2LiOH(aq) + H2(g)
