Complete and balance the equation for this single-displacement reaction. Phases are optional. Li+NaOH-->
The complete and balanced equation for this single-displacement reaction would be written as follows:
Li+NaOH--> LiOH + Na
In this reaction, lithium replace sodium in the compound sodium hydroxide forming lithium hydroxide and sodium metal as products. Hope this answers the question.
Answer: \(Li+NaOH\rightarrow LiOH+Na\)
Explanation:
A single replacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution.
The balanced chemical equation is :
\(Li+NaOH\rightarrow LiOH+Na\)
This is a single replacement reaction in which lithium replaces sodium from its aqueous solution. As lithium is more reactive than sodium, it easily loses electrons to convert to \(Li^{+}\) in \(LiOH\) and \(Na^+\) in \(NaOH\) accepts electrons to form \(Na\).
