Molecular formula/chemical symbol :LiCl
Description :
Lithium chloride is a chemical compound with the formula LiCl. The salt is a typical ionic compound, although the small size of the Li+ ion gives rise to properties not seen for other alkali metal chlorides, such as extraordinary solubility in polar solvents (83g/100 mL of water at 20 °C) and its hygroscopic properties.
The salt forms crystalline hydrates, unlike the other alkali metal chlorides. Mono-, tri-, and pentahydrates are known. It also absorbs up to four equivalents of ammonia. As with any other ionic chlorides, solutions of lithium chloride can serve as a source of chloride ion, e.g. forming a precipitate upon treatment with silver nitrate:
LiCl + AgNO3 → AgCl + LiNO3
Keywords:Chloride
USES :
For air-conditioning
Used as a flux, desiccant, chemical reagents
Used in making fireworks, dry batteries and lithium
