When lithium (Li) reacts with aluminum oxide (Al2O3), lithium ions typically react with the oxide ions (O2-) present in the aluminum oxide to form lithium oxide (Li2O). The aluminum does not react directly with lithium in this context, as aluminum oxide is a stable compound.
Therefore, the appropriate product from the options you've given, considering a reaction involving lithium and aluminum oxide, would be:
**Al + Li2O**
This is the balanced product, recognizing that lithium reacts with the oxide component of aluminum oxide to form lithium oxide.
