How do you dissolve lithium hydroxide?

Answer 1

Very carefully! Highly exothemic dissolution reaction.

• Never add water to the solid material!
• Use all (face! and hands!) protectional measures.
• Add stepwise solid to the excess of water while stirring and cooling.

Answer 2

To dissolve lithium hydroxide, simply add it to water and stir until it is fully dissolved. The lithium hydroxide will dissociate into lithium ions and hydroxide ions in solution. It is important to use caution and wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working with lithium hydroxide as it is caustic and can cause skin and eye irritation.
