Lithium compounds

Lithium Chloride is a colorless salt, noticeably volatile even at red heat; when heated white in a stream of hydrogen chloride, it can completely evaporate. Lithium chloride on the abolition of other alkali metals is soluble in alcohol and in a mixture of alcohol with ether, and also spreads. LiC..

Lithium hydroxide is a colorless hygroscopic crystals with a tetragonal lattice, readily soluble in water (gives off heat), slightly soluble in ethanol. It is a strong base, it belongs to alkalis. Aqueous solutions are strongly alkaline. Melts and its aqueous solutions destroy glass, porcelain, int..

Lithium carbonate Li2CO3 is released when mixing solutions of lithium salts with solutions containing carbonate ions in the form of a white crystalline salt that is hardly soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. The specific carried it 2.11. The melting point is 618 ° C. For the technical ..
