4. A 19.0-g sample of lithium is completely burned in air to form lithium oxide. The mass of lithium oxide must be

A. less than 19.0 g. B. greater than 19.0 g. C. equal to 19.0 g. D. all of the above. E. none of the above.

Explanation / Answer

1)  (6.45 × 10^5) × (1.2 × 10^4) =  7.7 × 10^9

answer : A) 7.7 × 10^9

2) (8.2 × 10-3) × (2.84 × 105) =  2.3 × 10^3

answer : B). 2.3 × 10^3

explanation : In multiplication and division, the number of significant figures in the final product or quotient is determined by the original number that has the smallest number of significant figures

3) density = mass / volume

13.6 = 5.00 x 10^2 / volume

volume = 36.76 mL

but signifants should be 3 so

answert : A) 36.8 mL

4 )

4 Li + O2 -----------------------> 2 Li2O

28 g 60 g

19 g 40.7 g

answer :  B. greater than 19.0 g
