It gets oxidised to lithium hydroxide.
Reconsider this answer:
LiH+H2O=H2+LiOH, an acid base reaction per Morrison and Boyd, Organic Chemistry. Li remains in its +1 state and the H- combines with the H+ of water to forom H2.

What colour flame does lithium produce when added to water?
It explodes actually.
What happens when lithium reacts with potassium hydroxide?
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.
What is the action of lithium on water?
Lithium react violent with water and lithium hydroxide and hydrogen are formed.
What process happens to ice when water is added?
it dissolves
Will lithium sink or float in water?
Lithium will react violently with water. Do not put it in water
What chemical will burn violently when mixed with water but not with kerosene?
sodium, sodium potassium, potassium lithium, lithium aluminum hydride
How would lithium chloride behave when added to water?
Lithium chloride would dissolve in water.
Does lithium form an alkali when added to water?
Yes. It forms Lithium hydroxide.
When lithium is added to water lithium and hydrogen is made?
Yes, hydrogen is a product of this reaction.
What element forms an alkali when added to water?
lithium
Lithium Sodium and potassium do this when you added to water?
They explode and combust.
Is lithium oxide an acid?
Lithium oxide forms Lithium hydroxide when added to water, which is alkaline, so Lithium oxide is basic.
What colour flame does lithium produce when added to water?
It explodes actually.
When lithium hydroxide pellets are added to a solution of sulfuric acid what is formed?
When lithium hydroxide pellets are added to a solution of sulfuric acid Lithium Sulfate and water are formed. The balanced equation is 2LiOH + H2SO4 ------> Li2SO4 + 2H2O
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.)
What happens when water is added to albumin?
happens
What happens when lithium comes into contact with water?
Lithium, like other alklai metals, reacts pretty violently with water. The reaction is 2Li + 2H2O ==>2LiOH + H2(g)
