What is LiClO4? Important knowledge about LiClO4.

1.1 Names of LiClO₄: Commonly known as Lithium Perchlorate in both Vietnamese and English.

1.2 Atomic Components: LiClO₄ is composed of atomic components lithium (Li), chlorine (Cl), and four oxygen (O) atoms.

1.3 Atomic Mass: The atomic mass of LiClO₄ = 6.94 (Li) + 35 -> .45 (Cl) + 15 -> .999 (O) x 4 = 106.39 g/mol.

1.4 Ion Structure: In LiClO₄, lithium (Li) transfers one electron to the ClO₄- ion to form the Li+ ion. The ClO₄- ion consists of one chlorine atom and four oxygen atoms combined.

2.1 Physical Properties of LiClO₄: LiClO₄ is a solid, colorless, odorless substance with a neutral pH.

2.2 Chemical Properties of LiClO₄: LiClO₄ is highly thermally decomposable and can react strongly with oxidizing substances, metal atoms, and compounds containing hydrogen.

3. Examples of common chemical equations of LiClO₄: Due to its easy decomposability and strong reaction with oxidizing substances, LiClO₄ is generally not used in common chemical reactions like metal, acid, or non-metal reactions.

4. Synthesis of LiClO₄: In the lab, LiClO₄ can be synthesized from lithium chloride and perchloric acid. Industrially, LiClO₄ is commonly synthesized from the reaction of lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate with perchloric acid.
