What is the Arrhenius base that contains the lithium cation?

1 Answer

Mar 26, 2018

Lithium hydroxide

Explanation:

Arrhenius bases are bases that dissociate into hydroxide $(O H^{-})$ $(OH^-)$ ions in aqueous solutions.

So, an Arrhenius base with a lithium cation would be lithium hydroxide.

Lithium cation has a charge of $+ 1$ $+1$ , while a hydroxide ion has a charge of $- 1$ $-1$ , and so criss-crossing, we get $L i O H$ $LiOH$ .
