Hi,
the spectator ions are the ones that are still present (unchanged) at the end of the reaction, in this case its the hydrogen and hydroxyl ions (H+ and OH-)
The reaction can be written to show these combined to ake a water molecule but that's only done for neatness.
the reaction is better written as;
(Li+) + (-Br) + (H+) + (-OH) ---> LiBr + (H+) + (-OH)
or;
Li+ + -Br ----> LiBr
Hope this helps,
Mike.
K and ClO4
sulphuric acid+lithium hydroxide=lithium sulphate+water
sulphuric acid + lithium hydroxide ---> lithium sulphate + water
Lithium Hydroxide
Li2o + h2o > 2li(oh)
The acid that reacts with lithium hydroxide in a neutralization reaction to form lithium sulfate and water is sulfuric acid (H2SO4).

Neutralization and double displacement
sulphuric acid+lithium hydroxide=lithium sulphate+water
the acid reacts with basis in a neutralization reaction in which the hydrogen ions donated by an acid react with the hydroxide ions donated by the base product a neutral product called water which is a reason why this reaction is known as a neutralization reaction =P
There will be no reaction between the lithium and the potassium hydroxide. However, since the potassium hydroxide is in solution, the lithium will still react with the water to form lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. 2Li + H2O --> H2 + LiOH.
sulphuric acid + lithium hydroxide ---> lithium sulphate + water
LiOH born from Li+1 (Lithium) and OH-1 (Hydroxide)
Examples: sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, etc.
LiOH
Lithium hydroxide is a stronger base (dissociates more completely) than ammonium hydroxide.
Li2o + h2o > 2li(oh)
