Chemical formula: LiCl. Colorless octahedral crystals that are highly deliquescent; they are the most deliquescent among all known salts. It tastes very salty, like sodium chloride. It melts into a clear liquid at red heat, and volatilizes at white heat. It is highly soluble in water: 100 grams of water can dissolve 67 grams at 0°C, 78 grams at 20°C, and 127 grams at 100°C. It is soluble in pure alcohol, ether, or mixtures of ether and alcohol; other alkali metal chlorides are insoluble. Thus, extraction can be used to separate lithium salts from other alkali metal salts. Melting point 613°C, density 2 g·cm-3. Previously, lithium salts were used only to treat gout; recently, they are often used in glass and ceramic glazes. LiCl can be produced by burning metallic lithium in chlorine gas.
