How do I balance the equation below? Incongruent dissolution means that you’ll be producing Li, Kaolinite and H₄SiO₄ when you dissolve Spodumene. So your MA reaction will have Spodumene --> Li + Kaolinite + H₄SiO₄.

LiAlSiO₆ + H₂O = Li + Al₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄ + H₄SiO₄

No,
Lithium is too innoble . It will not exist in aqueous environment. It will form LiOH.
Also H₄SiO₄ is not stable, it decompose to SiO₂ and 2 H₂O
