To determine which element, lithium (Li) or calcium (Ca), is a better reducing agent based on their standard reduction potentials, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Reducing Agents A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons in a chemical reaction and gets oxidized in the process. The strength of a reducing agent can be inferred from its standard reduction potential (E°). A lower (more negative) E° value indicates a stronger reducing agent. ### Step 2: Identify the Given Standard Reduction Potentials We have the following standard reduction potentials: - For lithium: \( E^\circ (Li^+ / Li) = -3.05 \, V \) ...
