Question

The balanced equations for the equations for the reaction of lithium and caesium with oxygen.

$4Li+O_2\to 2L{i}_{2}O$
$Cs+O_2\to Cs{O}_2$

If the given statement is true enter 1 else 0.

Answer 1

The chemical equation for the reaction of Lithium and Caesium with oxygen can be written as:

$4Li+O_2\to 2L{i}_{2}O$

$Cs+O_2\to Cs{O}_2$

All alkali metals react vigorously with oxygen at standard conditions. They form various types of oxides. Lithium burns in air to form lithium oxide while rubidium and cesium form the superoxide exclusively

Hence, the given statement is true.
