Question

Write the chemical equation for the reaction of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) with an Arrhenius acid of your choosing. Name and write the formula for the salt formed during the reaction.

Answer 1

LiOH(aq) +HCl(aq)→ LiCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

Salt formed is LiCl

Step-by-step explanation:

• Arrhenius acid refers to a substance that ionizes in water to generate protons or hydrogen ions.
• Examples of Arrhenius acid include acids such as HCl, H₂SO₄ and HNO₃.
• A reaction between Lithium hydroxide and an Arrhenius acid such as HCl will yield a salt and water.

That is;

LiOH(aq) +HCl(aq)→ LiCl(aq) + H₂O(l)

• The salt formed is LiCl
• The reaction is an example of neutralization reaction.
