All of the energy from the Sun that reaches the Earth arrives as solar radiation, part of a large collection of energy called the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Solar radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. Radiation is one way to transfer heat.
Answer:
2Li(s) + 2H₂O(ℓ) ⟶ 2Li⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) + H₂(g)
Explanation:
An ionic equation uses the symbols (aq) [aqueous] to indicate molecules and ions that are soluble in water, (s) [solid] to indicate insoluble solids, and (ℓ) to indicate substances (usually water) in the liquid state.
In this reaction, solid lithium reacts with liquid water to form soluble lithium hydroxide and gaseous hydrogen
.
1. Molecular equation
2Li(s) + 2H₂O(ℓ) ⟶ 2LiOH(aq) + H₂(g)
2. Ionic equation
Lithium hydroxide is a soluble ionic compound, so we write it as hydrated ions.
2Li(s) + 2H₂O(ℓ) ⟶ 2Li⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) + H₂(g)
The formula unit of compound made up from Pb4+ and oxygen is PbO2.
