Consider this reaction:

Li3N (s) + 3H2O (l)→NH3 (g) + 3LiOH (l)

You need to make 120 g LiOH.

120 g LiOH × (1 mol LiOH / 23.95 g) = 5.01 mol LiOH

From the equation 1 mol Li3N → 3 mol LiOH, so moles Li3N = 5.01 / 3 = 1.67 mol

Molar mass Li3N = 3(6.94) + 14.01 = 34.83 g/mol

Mass Li3N = 1.67 mol × 34.83 g/mol = 58.2 g ≈ 58 g

Answer: 58 g
