Answer: Li is the reducing agentg and O is the oxidizing agent.
Explanation:
1) The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced and the reducing agent is the one that is oxidized.
2) The given reaction is:
4Li(s) + O₂ (g) → 2 Li₂O(s)
3) Determine the oxidation states of each atom:
Li(s): oxidation state = 0 (since it is alone)
O₂ (g): oxidation state = 0 (since it is alone)
Li in Li₂O (s) +1
O in Li₂O -2
That because 2× (+1) - 2 = 0.
4) Determine the changes:
Li went from 0 to + 1, therefore it got oxidized and it is the reducing agent.
O went from 0 to - 2, therefore it got reduced and it is the oxidizing agent.
Answer:

Explanation:
Answer:
No, the only way they can be separated is through chemical methods. ... A compound is made up of two or more elements that are chemically combined and elements are combined to form a compound.
Explanation:
Answer:
The atomic mass given on a periodic table that is given in grams is the mass of one mole (6.022 × 1023 particles) of that element. EXAMPLE: As you can see from the example above, one mole of Carbon would have a mass of 12.011 grams.
