D. the potential energy of the reactants is low; the potential energy decreases gradually; then increases slightly.
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: The balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when methane (CH4) burns in air is .
Explanation:
When a substance tends to gain oxygen atom in a chemical reaction and loses hydrogen atom then it is called oxidation reaction.
For example, chemical equation for oxidation of methane is as follows.
Number of atoms present on reactant side are as follows.
Number of atoms present on product side are as follows.
To balance this equation, multiply by 2 on reactant side. Also, multiply by 2 on product side. Hence, the equation can be rewritten as follows.
Now, the number of atoms present on reactant side are as follows.
Number of atoms present on product side are as follows.
Since, the atoms present on both reactant and product side are equal. Therefore, this equation is now balanced.
Thus, we can conclude that balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when methane (CH4) burns in air is .
First, calculate the number of moles of sodium present with the given mass,
31.5 g of sodium x (1 mol sodium/ 23 g sodium) = 1.37 mol sodium
It is given in the equation that for every 2mols of sodium, one mol of H2 is produced.
mols of H2 = (1.37 mols sodium)(1 mol H2/ 2 mols sodium)
mols of H2 = 0.685 mols H2
Then, at STP, 1 mol of gas = 22.4 L.
volume of H2 = (0.685 mols H2)(22.4 L / 1 mol)
volume of H2 = 15.34 L
Answer: 15.34 L
