With ease! Lithium hydroxide + nitric acid #rarr# lithium nitrate and water

Explanation:

#LiOH(aq) + HNO_3(aq) rarr LiNO_3(aq) + H_2O(l)#

Of course, LiOH(aq), and LiNO_3(aq), are the aquated species, which in solution we would represent as #Li^+(aq)#, or #NO_3^-(aq)#, where water solvates the ion. The net ionic equation is simply:

#OH^(-)(aq) + H^(+)(aq) rarr H_2O(l)#
