Lithium reacts violently with water, producing hydrogen gas that bubbles out of the solution. The reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat. The reaction between lithium and water produces lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). LiOH is a strong base that dissolves in water to form a basic solution. The basic nature of the solution can be confirmed using pH indicator paper, which will show a shift towards the basic side of the pH scale.
