#"H"_2"SO"_3(aq)+2"LiOH"(s)rarr"Li"_2"SO"_3(aq)+2"H"_2"O"(l)#

Explanation:

Sulfurous acid is given by #"H"_2"SO"_3#. Lithium hydroxide by #"LiOH"#, lithium sulfite by #"Li"_2"SO"_3# and water by #"H"_2"O"#.

We now have:

#"H"_2"SO"_3+"LiOH"rarr"Li"_2"SO"_3+"H"_2"O"#
Balancing this, we get:

#"H"_2"SO"_3(aq)+2"LiOH"(s)rarr"Li"_2"SO"_3(aq)+2"H"_2"O"(l)#
