Answer:
2Li+MgBr_2\rightarrow 2LiBr+Mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution.

A more reactive element is one which can easily lose or gain electrons as compared to the other element.

The balanced chemical equation is:


2Li+MgBr_2\rightarrow 2LiBr+Mg

Here Lithium being more reactive than magnesium, it can easily displace magnesium from its salt solution and form lithium bromide and magneium in elemental form.
