(a)\(HCl{O_4}\left( {aq} \right) + LiOH\left( {aq} \right) \to LiCl{O_4}\left( {aq} \right) + {H_2}O\left( l \right)\)

(b) \({H_2}S{O_4}\left( {aq} \right) + 2NaOH\left( {aq} \right) \to N{a_2}S{O_4}\left( {aq} \right) + 2{H_2}O\left( l \right)\)

(c)\(Ba{\left( {OH} \right)_2}\left( {aq} \right) + 2HF\left( g \right) \to Ba{F_2}\left( s \right) + 2{H_2}O\)

Step by step solution

01

Formation of lithium perchlorate salt

First balance the lithium atom and the perchlorate ion, followed by the hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

\(HCl{O_4}\left( {aq} \right) + LiOH\left( {aq} \right) \to LiCl{O_4}\left( {aq} \right) + {H_2}O\left( l \right)\)
