Lithium floats one water because it is less dense (it has a density of 0.53 g/cm while water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3). On contact, however lithium an water react to form hydrogen gas and lithium hydroxide. The latter then dissolves in the remaining water.

It reacts quite violently to give off hydrogen leaving Lithium hydroxide 2Li + 2H2O = 2LiOH + H2

Why is lithium chloride insoluble in water?
You are misinformed, Lithium Chloride IS soluble in water.
Will lithium sink or float in water?
Lithium will react violently with water. Do not put it in water
What is the color of the lithium flame in water?
The reaction of lithium and water is violent but without a flame.
How fast does lithium react with water?
Yes. Lithium reacts vigorously with water to produce hydrogen gas, lithium hydroxide, and heat.
What does lithium react with?
Lithium reacts vigorously (but not violently) with water.
What is the chemical equation for the reaction of lithium and water?
Lithium and water react to produce lithium hydroxide and hydrogen, along with considerable heat.
What is the name of the acid that reacts with lithium hydroxide in a neutralization reaction to form lithium sulfate and water?
The acid that reacts with lithium hydroxide in a neutralization reaction to form lithium sulfate and water is sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
Does lithium dissolve in other solvents?
Lithium is not dissolved in nonpolar solvents.With water lithium react.
How would lithium chloride behave when added to water?
Lithium chloride would dissolve in water.
What is the exothermic chemical reaction for lithium and water?
Lithium gradually reacts with water to give off hydrogen
How you can remove lithium chloride from water?
One way to remove lithium chloride from water is through a process called precipitation. By adding a chemical compound that can react with lithium chloride to form a solid precipitate, the lithium chloride can be removed by filtration or sedimentation. Another method is through reverse osmosis, where pressure is used to force water through a membrane that is impermeable to lithium chloride, thus separating it from the water.
