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: 24.1 L
Explanation:
To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.
Mathematically,
where,
are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.
are the final volume and temperature of the gas.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Thus the volume of the sample when heated to 220.0oC and the pressure is constant is 24.1 L
Answer: The particles in a solid are packed very close to each other.
The redox reaction is
Here
Calcium undergoes reduction, and acts as cathode
Lithium undergoes oxidation and acts as anode
The reduction potential of calcium is -2.87 V
The reduction potential of lithium is - -3.05 V
We know that
Ecell = Ecathode - Eanode
Ecell = -2.87 - (-3.05) = 0.18 V
[Ar] 4s²
