(a) lithium is the strongest reducing agent among the alkali metals.

(b) lithium is least reactive with water among the alkali metals.

(c) $LiNO _3$ decomposes on heating to give $LiNO _2$ and $O _2$.

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 2. (b)

Solution:

  1. Statement (c) is incorrect. $LiNO _3$ (Lithium nitrate) on heating gives a mixture of $Li _2 O, NO _2$ and $O _2$.

$$ 4 LiNO _3 \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} 2 Li _2 O+4 NO _2 \uparrow+O _2 \uparrow $$

Among the alkali metals, lithium is the strongest reducing agent.
