Lithium and oxygen react to form lithium oxide. What is the balanced equation for this reaction?

Biology
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Both lithium and oxygen react to form an ionic bond between them. There is one Oxygen atom on the right side and 2 Oxygen atoms on the left, therefore coefficient 2 is added on right side to balance the oxygen atoms. 

Li + O2 --> 2 Li2O 

There will be 4 Lithium atoms on right side and 1 Lithium on the left therefore coefficient  4 is added to balance the lithium atoms

4 Li + O2 --> 2 Li2O 

The balanced equation is: 

4 Li + O2 --> 2 Li2O

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- will be called "Clones" with no genetic variation thus result in less adaptability to environment.

Explanation:

Plants can reproduce by both modes of reproduction called asexual and sexual reproduction.   The asexual mode of reproduction produces genetically similar offsprings in less period of time and thus helps in spreading of the species in minimum time as in the case of Kalanchoe.

The Kalanchoe can dominate a large area of the habitat using this mode of reproduction but at the cost of genetic variation.  

Since asexual reproduction results in Clones with same genetic material so the descendants of the plant will be less adaptive to changing the environment as asexual reproduction does not involve genes.
