    Answer: 43.3 l

    Explanation:

    1) Chemical equation:

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

    2) Mole ratios:

    2 mol Li : 2 mol H₂O : 2 mol LiOH : 1 mol H₂

    3) Number of moles of Li that react

    n = mass in grams / atomic mass = 24.6g / 6.941 g/mol = 3.54 moles

    4) Yield

    Proportion:

    2 mol Li / 1 mol H₂ = 3.54 mol Li / x

    ⇒ x = 3.54 mol Li * 1 mol H / 2 mol Li = 1.77 mol H₂

    4) Ideal gas equation

    PV = nRT ⇒ V = nRT / P

    V = 1.77 mol * 0.0821 [atm*l / (mol*K) ] * 301 K / 1.01 atm = 43.3 l

    V = 43.3 l ← answer
