Predict the products for the following set of reactants. Li(s) + H₂O(l) $\rightarrow$ A) Li⁺(aq) + H₂(g) + O₂(g) B) Li⁺(aq) + H₂(g) + OH¯(aq) C) LiH(s) + O₂(g) D) Li⁺(aq) + H₂O₂(aq) E) LiOH(aq) + H₂O₂(aq)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reactants are Li, H2O, and H2SO4. The reaction is a single displacement reaction, in which the Li reacts with H+ ions from H2SO4 to form Li+ and hydrogen gas. The remaining sulfate ion combines with the water to form HSO4- and OH-. Therefore, the products are Li+ (aq), H2 (g), HSO4- (aq), and OH- (aq). Choice B is the only option that includes these products.

Predict the Products for the Following Set of Reactants →\rightarrow→ A) Li+(aq) + H2(g) + O2(g) B) Li+(aq) + H2(g)
