A. Li⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Li⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)
B. Li⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + LiNO₃(aq)
C. LiOH(aq) + HNO₃(aq) → H₂O(l) + Li⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)
D. LiOH(aq) + H⁺(aq) → H₂O(l) + Li⁺(aq)

Answer 1

The balanced complete ionic equation for the reaction LiOH(aq) + HNO₃(aq) → H₂O(l) + LiNO₃(aq) is: Li⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Li⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced complete ionic equation for the reaction LiOH(aq) + HNO₃(aq) → H₂O(l) + LiNO₃(aq) is:

Li⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Li⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

In this equation, each compound is dissociated into its ions. LiOH dissociates into Li⁺ and OH⁻ ions, while HNO₃ dissociates into H⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions.

The reaction occurs between H⁺ and OH⁻ ions to form water, while Li⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions remain unchanged.
