a.
Answer to Problem 55A
The balanced equation for the reaction of lithium metal with water is given as
Explanation of Solution
Lithium belongs to the Group 1A element.
Group 1 A elements react vigorously with water since they are alkali metals.
When lithium metal reacts with water, an aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas is produced.
The completed balanced reaction is given below:
