Answer:
1. Increase in the temperature of the water
2. Increasing the surface area of the lithium
Explanation:
1. Increase in the temperature of the water
The activation energy for the lithium water reaction is +161 kJ/mol while the activation energy for the sodium is +109 kJ/mol, hence for increased reaction rate, the water temperature will be raised to enable more lithium atoms enter into reaction with the water molecules as their energy is increased lowering the activation energy required for the reaction.
2. Increasing the surface area of the lithium
As the lithium floats on the water, due to its low temperature and the heat evolved from the reaction of lithium with the cold water is below the melting point of lithium, the reaction rate can be increased by increasing the surface area of lithium sample by grinding so as to increase the number of lithium water reaction sites.
The answer is 73.71%. Hope I helped plus mark as brailiest ^-^
<u>Answer:</u> Electrons are taken up by 
and they are lost by 
<u>Explanation:</u>
Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously. It is also called the reaction where the exchange of electrons takes place.
An oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons takes place. In this reaction, the oxidation state of a substance gets increased.
A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons takes place. In this reaction, the oxidation state of a substance gets reduced.
For the given chemical reaction:
The half-reactions for this redox rection follows:
<u>Oxidation half-reaction:</u> 
<u>Reduction half-reaction:</u> 
Hence, electrons are taken up by and they are lost by
To complete the balancing of the following combustion reaction, we must do elemental balances. For C, there is 5 on the left side hence there should be 5 CO2. For H, H20 should be 9/2. Next we balance O. on theright side we find a total of 29/2. So the o2 on the left side should be 29/4. To have whole number stoich.coeff. we multiply the numbers by 4, hence answer is
4C5H9O + 9O2= 20 O2 + 18 H20.
