Answer: The products are
LiClO_3\text{ and }H_2O

Explanation: The reaction of acid and base is considered as a neutralization reaction. In this chemical reaction, acid reacts with base to form a salt and water.


HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O

For the reaction of
HClO_3 and LiOH, the equation follows:


LiOH(aq.)+HClO_3(aq.)\rightarrow LiClO_3(aq.)+H_2O(l)

By stoichiometry,

1 mole of Lithium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of Chloric acid to produce 1 mole of Lithium chlorate and 1 mole of water.

Hence, the products are
LiClO_3\text{ and }H_2O
