Answer 2

GiVEN CHEMiCAL EQUATiON

$\tt \: \large \gray{LiHCO_3 → Li_2CO_3 + CO_2 + H_2O}$

BALANCED CHEMiCAL EQUATiON

$\large \tt \red{2 \: LiHCO_3 (aq) → Li_2CO_3 (s) + CO_2 (g) + H_2O (l)}$

• This is a precipitation reaction: Li2CO3 is the formed precipitate.
• This is a gas evolution reaction, CO2 is the formed gas.

Reactants :-

$\large \leadsto \: \bf \: LiHCO_3 - Lithium \: \: bicarbonate$

Products :-

$\large \: \leadsto \bf \: Li_2CO_3 – Lithium \: \: carbonate$

• Appearance: Odorless white powder

$\large \: \leadsto \bf CO_2 - Carbon \: \: dioxide$

• Appearance: Odourless colourless compressed liquefied gas

$\large \leadsto \bf \: H_2O – Water$

• Appearance: White crystalline solid, almost colorless liquid with a hint of blue, colorless gas
