    Li₂SO₄ is the formed salt

    Explanation:

    We determine the reactants dissociations:

    H₂SO₄ → 2H⁺ + SO₄⁻²

    LiOH → Li⁺ + OH⁻

    The 2H⁺ link the OH⁻ to form water, but there is one more H⁺, so we need another OH⁻ to finally produce 2 moles of H₂O

    In conclussion to determine the lithium sulfate, which is the formed salt, Li will release 2 e⁻ as this equation shows:

    2Li → 2Li⁺ + 2e⁻

    Now the neutralization reaction is:

    2LiOH + H₂SO₄ → Li₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
