What is Lithium hydroxide?
Lithium hydroxide is formed when lithium reacts with water in a test tube produce lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The chemical formula for lithium hydroxide is LiOH. Lithium-ion picks up the hydrogen ion which becomes hydrogen atoms. Two hydrogen atoms form a molecule of hydrogen gas. The negative hydroxide ion left behind combines with lithium to make lithium hydroxide.
