    The reaction would written as:

    2Li + 2H2O = 2LiOH + H2

    We are given the amount in volume of the hydrogen gas that is produced. Assuming that this gas is an ideal gas, we use the relation that in every 1 mol of gas, 22.4 L is being occupied.

    75.5 mL (1 L / 1000 mL) (1 mol / 22.4 L) = 0.0034 mol H2 produced

    0.0034 mol H2 (2 mol Li / 1 mol H2) (6.941 g / mol) = 0.0472 g Li is needed

    The reaction equation may be written as:

    2Li + 2H₂O → 2LiOH + H₂

    A single mole of gas occupies 22,400 ml of gas at STP. Therefore, the moles of hydrogen gas are

    75.5 / 22,400 = 0.0034 mol

    According to the equation, the moles of lithium are twice that of hydrogen gas; thus,

    0.0034 x 2 = 0.0068 mol

    The mass of lithium is given by:

    mass = moles x atomic mass

    mass = 0.0068 x 6.9

    mass = 0.047 grams
