Question

Besides water, what is the product of a Neutalization Reaction between H2SO4 and LiOH?

a. LiSO4
b. HOH
c. LiS
d. Li2SO4
​

Answer 1

Option D. Li2SO4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know the product formed from neutalization reaction between H2SO4 and LiOH, we need to write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below

H2SO4 + LiOH —> Li2SO4 + H2O

The equation above can balanced as follow:

There are 2 atoms of Li on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of LiOH as shown below:

H2SO4 + 2LiOH —> Li2SO4 + H2O

Now, we have a total of 4 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of H2O as shown below:

H2SO4 + 2LiOH —> Li2SO4 + 2H2O

Now the equation is balanced.

The product of the reaction beside water (H2O) is Li2SO4

Answer 2

The answer to your question is d. Li₂SO₄

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

H₂SO₄ reacts with LiOH

Process

This is a neutralization reaction that occurs between an acid and a base and the products will always be water and a binary or ternary salt.

In this reaction, the acid is H₂SO₄ and the base is LiOH, then the products will be water and Lithium sulfate.

Balanced chemical reaction

H₂SO₄ + LiOH ⇒ Li₂SO₄ + H₂O
