Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between lithium (Li) and nitrogen gas (N\_2) to form lithium nitride (Li\_3N). The balanced equation is: \(6\ \mathrm{Li} + \mathrm{N}_2 \rightarrow 2\ \mathrm{Li}_3\mathrm{N}\).
Determine the mole ratio between lithium and lithium nitride from the balanced equation. From the equation, 6 moles of Li produce 2 moles of Li\_3N, so the mole ratio is \(\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}\) mole of Li\_3N per mole of Li.
Calculate the moles of Li\_3N formed from 1.75 moles of Li using the mole ratio: \(\text{moles of Li}_3\mathrm{N} = 1.75 \times \frac{1}{3}\).
Use the molar mass of Li\_3N (34.83 g/mol) to convert moles of Li\_3N to grams: \(\text{mass of Li}_3\mathrm{N} = \text{moles of Li}_3\mathrm{N} \times 34.83\ \mathrm{g/mol}\).
Perform the multiplication to find the mass of Li\_3N formed from 1.75 moles of Li.
