$H_{2} S O_{3} (a q) + 2 L i O H (a q) \to L i_{2} S O_{3} (a q) + 2 H_{2} O (l)$ $H_2SO_3(aq) + 2LiOH(aq) rarr Li_2SO_3(aq) + 2H_2O(l)$

Explanation:

Is charge balanced? Tick. Is mass balanced? Tick.

In aqueous solution, we know that so-called $sulfurous acid$ $"sulfurous acid"$ is probably solvated $S O_{2} (a q)$ $SO_2(aq)$ , i.e. $S O_{2} \cdot H_{2} O \equiv H_{2} S O_{3}$ $SO_2*H_2O-=H_2SO_3$ .
