Solid lithium metal and diatomic nitrogen gas react spontaneously. give the balanced chemical equation (including phases) that describes this reaction.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows:

6 Li[s] + N2[g] = 2LI3N[s].

This chemical equation means that, 6 moles of solid lithium reacts with a mole of diatomic nitrogen gas to produce 2 moles of solid lithium nitride.

The symbol s in the equation stands for solid and the g symbol stands for gas.
