During the electrolysis of the molten lithium chloride, the Lithium ions (Li⁺) at the cathode undergoes reduction, and the electron configuration of lithium becomes 1s²2s¹.
<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>
Electrolysis can be described as the process in which the electric current is passed through the chemical compound to break them. In this process, the atoms and ions are interchanged by the addition or removal of electrons.
The ions are allowed to move freely in this process. When an ionic compound is melted or dissolved in water then ions are produced which can move freely.
During the electrolysis of molten lithium chloride, the lithium ions reach the cathode and accept the electrons while chloride ions reach at anode and loss electrons to become chlorine gas.
At anode : 2 Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻
At cathode: 2 Li⁺ + 2e⁻ → Li

Answer:
Decomposition
Explanation:
If we look at the process;
2 NaHCO3 (s) → Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (g) + CO2 (g)
We can see that NaHCO3 was broken down into Na2CO3, H2O and CO2.
The breakdown of one compound to yield other chemical compounds is known as decomposition.
Hence the NaHCO3 was decomposed in the process above.
Answer:
<u>C) 4</u>
Explanation:
<u>The reaction</u> :
- C (s) + 2H₂ (g) ⇒ CH₄ (g)
12g 4g 16g
Hence, based on this we can say that : <u>2 moles of hydrogen gas are needed to produce 16g of methane.</u>
<u />
<u>For 32g of methane</u>
- Number of moles of H₂ = 32/16 × 2
- Number of moles of H₂ = <u>4</u>
Brass is an alloy, or a combination of two (or more) metals.
Correct answer is C
Na2O + H2O ----> 2 NaOH
