Lithium compounds: lithium hydroxide monohydrate

The lithium in lithium hydroxide monohydrate formally is in the oxidation state 1.

Coming soon...

One way to prepare lithium(I) hydroxide is the reaction between lithium (I) sulphate and barium hydroxide, Ba(OH)₂.

Li₂SO₄(aq) + Ba(OH)₂(aq) → 2LiOH(aq) + BaSO₄(s)

What follows is the calculated isotope pattern for the LiOH.H₂O unit with the most intense ion set to 100%.

Formula: Li₁O₂H₃
