Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
The pKa of lithium hydroxide anhydrous is between 13.8 and 14.18 at 20°C. For lithium hydroxide monohydrate also full dissociation is very likely, whereas the pH value of a solution of comparable morality is expected to be lower, due to the content of crystal water (less hydroxyl ions).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- pKa at 20°C:
- 14
Additional information
Lithium hydroxide is usually considered to be a strong base, almost completely dissociated in aqueous solution. Based on the available data the pKa of lithium hydroxide anhydrous is between 13.8 and 14.18 at 20°C. This result demonstrates the extreme alkaline character of lithium hydroxide anhydrous in aqueous solutions. For lithium hydroxide monohydrate also full dissociation is very likely, whereas the pH value of a solution of comparable morality is expected to be lower, due to the content of crystal water (less hydroxyl ions).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
