Question

Write the balanced chemical equation for the neutralization reaction that occurs when an aqueous solution of hydrobromic acid (HBr) is mixed with an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide (LiOH).
Indicate the physical states of the reactants and products using the abbreviations (s), (l), (g), or (aq) for solids, liquids, gases, or aqueous solutions, respectively.
Express your answer as a chemical equation.

Answer 1

For this reaction, the reactants are the hydrobomic acid and the lithium hydroxide which produces the products lithium bromide and water. The chemical equation should be as follows:

HBr(aq) + LiOH(aq) = LiBr(aq) + H2O(l)

Answer 2

Answer: $HBr(aq)+LiOH(aq)\rightarrow LiBr(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

A double displacement in which an acid and base reacts to form slat and water, is called as neutralization.

Thus the balanced chemical equation for neutralization of aqueous solution of hydrobromic acid with an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide:

$HBr(aq)+LiOH(aq)\rightarrow LiBr(aq)+H_2O(l)$
