h₂so₄(aq) + lioh(aq) →
express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.
a chemical reaction does not occur for this question.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand acid - base reaction

Acid reacts with base to form salt and water. For \(HI(aq)+LiOH(aq)\to\), \(HI\) is a strong acid (\(H^{+}\) donor) and \(LiOH\) is a strong base (\(OH^{-}\) donor).
The reaction is \(HI(aq)+LiOH(aq)\to LiI(aq)+H_{2}O(l)\)

Step2: Balance the second reaction

For \(H_{2}SO_{4}(aq)+LiOH(aq)\to\), \(H_{2}SO_{4}\) is a diprotic acid. The general acid - base reaction formula is \(H_{n}A + M(OH)_{m}\to\) salt \(+H_{2}O\). Here \(n = 2\) (from \(H_{2}SO_{4}\)), \(m = 1\) (from \(LiOH\)).
We need 2 moles of \(LiOH\) to react with 1 mole of \(H_{2}SO_{4}\). The reaction is \(H_{2}SO_{4}(aq)+2LiOH(aq)\to Li_{2}SO_{4}(aq)+2H_{2}O(l)\)

Answer:

• For \(HI(aq)+LiOH(aq)\to\): \(HI(aq)+LiOH(aq)\to LiI(aq)+H_{2}O(l)\)
• For \(H_{2}SO_{4}(aq)+LiOH(aq)\to\): \(H_{2}SO_{4}(aq)+2LiOH(aq)\to Li_{2}SO_{4}(aq)+2H_{2}O(l)\)
