Chapter 15, Problem 7RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Formulas and name of three salts that can be formed from lithium hydroxide have to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Neutralization reaction involves concentration of an acid and base that generates a salt from the cation and anion substrates along with removal of water. For instance reaction amongst $\text{NaOH}$ and $\text{HCl}$ is as follows:

  $\text{NaOH}+\text{HCl}\to \text{NaCl}+{\text{H}}_2\text{O}$

Metal hydroxide is basic and thus on treatment with acids such as $\text{HCl}$, sulfuric or nitric acid from corresponding salts by neutralization along with release of water.
