Question

H2SO4(aq)+LiOH(aq)→ Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer. Enter noreaction if there is no reaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2LiOH (aq) ⇒ Li₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)

Explanation:

This is an acid-base reaction, so we know the products are going to a salt/ionic compound and water.

Answer 2

Answer:

$H_2SO_4(aq) + 2LiOH(aq) \rightarrow Li_2SO_4(s) + 2H_2O (l)$

Explanation:

Sulfuric acid $H_2SO_4$ reacts with lithium hydroxide (LiOH) to form lithium sulfate ($Li_2SO_4$) and water.

$H_2SO_4(aq) + 2LiOH(aq) \rightarrow Li_2SO_4(s) + 2H_2O (l)$

This reaction is a type of neutralization reaction because sulfuric acid and lithium hydroxide completely neutralizes each other to form a salt. Lithium sulfate exist in solid state.

This is also a type of double displacement reaction as reactants (sulfuric acid and lithium hydroxide) exchange their ions to form new compounds(lithium sulfate and water).
