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.
The release of O₂( oxygen) from the process of photosynthesis is what made them to be able to float.
<h3>What is Photosynthesis?</h3>
This is referred to as the process in which green plants manufacture their food in the presence of sunlight which is trapped by chlorophyll.They are known as primary producers and they use compounds such as water and carbondioxide.
The reactants mentioned above undergo series of reactions which leads to the production of glucose and oxygen is given off as a result which is the element responsible for the floating of the aspirated spinach leaf disks in this scenario.
