a chemical reaction occurs. a deadly chemical gas forms. friction is happening inside the mixture. it is becoming very hot. eventually that mixture will explode. it could take seconds or minutes depending upon how much of the mixture was put into place.

Lithium salt (LiCl) will dissolve in water.

Lithium metal (Li) will react with water to produce hydrogen gas (H2) and Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH).

The reaction is supposed to be less violent than Sodium Metal. It is likely that in very cold water, it would still react, but not violent enough to explode. Thus it might be used as a generator of hydrogen gas (H2), especially if done in an anoxic environment.

Lithium has a lower density than water. It will just float on the surface of the water and gently fizz.

2Li + 2H2O --> 2LiOH + H2

Which metals react slowly with cold water but vigorously with steam?

All metals, if they do react with water at all, react faster in steam than in water. However, the metals that react SLOWLY with cold water are the metals from Group-IIA(Magnesium, Calcium, etc).

Sulfuric acid doesn't form crystals; lithium react with water.


What happens when a lithium ion reaches a cathode?

The lithium ion is reduced to an atom of metallic lithium. (If liquid water is in contact with the cathode, however, each lithium atom will react very rapidly with water and become a lithium ion again, releasing hydrogen to the atmosphere.)
