A student is reacting lithium oxide with hydrochloric acid.

Look at the equation for the reaction.

Li2O+2HCl⟶2LiCl+H2O \text{Li}_2\text{O} + 2\text{HCl} \longrightarrow 2\text{LiCl} + \text{H}_2\text{O} Li2​O+2HCl⟶2LiCl+H2​O

The student wants to make 34.0 g34.0\text{ g}34.0 g of lithium chloride, LiCl\text{LiCl}LiCl.

Calculate the masses of lithium oxide and hydrochloric acid that they need. (Relative atomic masses: Li=7.0\text{Li} = 7.0Li=7.0, O=16.0\text{O} = 16.0O=16.0, H=1.0\text{H} = 1.0H=1.0, Cl=35.5\text{Cl} = 35.5Cl=35.5)
