In this video, we will be making lithium hydroxide by reacting lithium metal with water!
Lithium hydroxide is a precursor to lithium drugs. I plan to use the lithium hydroxide to make a drug that's used to treat bipolar disorder, and to make lithium peroxide, which is a CO2 absorber (reacts with CO2 and produces O2)
I plan to do an Q and A video, so if you have any questions you'd like me to address in the video, leave them in the comments.
