About Lithium Hydroxide
- Lithium Hydroxide is a base.
- Aqueous Lithium Hydroxide is an alkali.
- Lithium Hydroxide is held together by ionic bonds.
- Lithium Hydroxide has a giant ionic structure.
- Lithium Hydroxide reacts with acids to produce a Lithium salt:
- Hydrochloric Acid + Lithium Hydroxide → Lithium Chloride + Water
- HCl + LiOH → LiCl + H2O
- Sulphuric Acid + Lithium Hydroxide → Lithium Sulphate + Water
- H2SO4 + 2LiOH → Li2SO4 + 2H2O
- Nitric Acid + Lithium Hydroxide → Lithium Nitrate + Water
- HNO3 + LiOH → LiNO3 + H2O
