In the reaction, 2 Li (s) + Cl2 (g) Imported Asset 2 LiCl (s), the reducing agent is:

the Li

the Cl2

the LiCl

both the Li and the Cl2

Answer 1

Correct answer is Li

Step-by-step explanation:

Lithium reacts with chlorine to form Lithium chloride.

This is a redox (Oxidation -Reduction) reaction

Hence the reducing agent in this reaction is Li

Answer 2

Correct answer is Li

Step-by-step explanation:

Lithium reacts with chlorine to form Lithium chloride.

`$2Li+Cl_(2) \to 2LiCl$`

This is a redox (Oxidation -Reduction) reaction

`$2Li^(0) \to 2Li^(+2)+2e^(-)$ - Oxidation</p><p>$Cl_(2)^(0)+2e^(-) \to 2Cl^(-)$  - Reduction`

Hence the reducing agent in this reaction is Li
