Description and Uses
Lithium hydride is an off-white to grayish,translucent, odorless solid or white powder that darkens rapidly on exposure to light. Molecular weight = 7.95; Specificgravity (H2O:1)=0.78; Boiling point = 850℃ (decomposesbelow BP); Freezing/Melting point = 689℃; Autoignitiontemperature = 200℃. Hazard Identification (based onNFPA-704 M Rating System): Health 3, Flammability 4,Reactivity 2. A combustible solid that can form airbornedust clouds which may explode on contact with flame, heat,or oxidizers.
Lithium hydride is a bluish-white crystal that is flammable in moisture. Used as a source of hydrogen gas that is liberated when LiH becomes wet. LiH is an excellent desiccant and reducing agent as well as a shield that protects from radiation created by nuclear reactions.
