Hey rdncoic, I have learnt how to cut and paste. So we all can read the difference / relationship between lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide....
Quote - “Lithium hydroxide is produced in a metathesis reaction between lithium carbonate and calcium hydroxide:[5]
Li2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2 LiOH + CaCO3
The initially produced hydrate is dehydrated by heating under vacuum up to 180 °C.
In the laboratory, lithium hydroxide arises by the action of water on lithium or lithium oxide.
The equations for these processes follow:
2 Li + 2 H2O → 2 LiOH + H2
Li2O + H2O → 2 LiOH
Typically, these reactions are avoided.
Although lithium carbonate is more widely used, the hydroxide is an effective precursor to lithium salts, e.g.
LiOH + HF → LiF + H2O.
Gas phase chemistry
Edit
The acidity of LiOH has been measured in the gas phase. The oxidolithium anion, LiO–, was produced by successive decarboxylation and decarbonylation of monolithium oxalate anion, LiO(C=O)(C=O)O–, by collision-induced dissociation and was identified by its exact mass. The gas-phase acidity of LiOH was inferred from the experimentally determined electron affinity of LiO• and previously known heats of formation to give a value of 426 ± 2 kcal/mol. This is considerably higher than the gas-phase acidity of water (390 kcal/mol) and even exceeds that of methane (417 kcal/mol). Thus, LiOH is a very weak acid and is in fact the weakest acid yet measured in the gas phase.[6]
