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

The first question's answer is
Molarity is defined as the ratio of number of moles to the volume of solution in litres.
The mathematical expression is given as:
Here, molarity is equal to 1.43 M and volume is equal to 785 mL.
Convert mL into L
As, 1 mL = 0.001 L
Thus, volume = 
= 0.785 L
Rearrange the formula of molarity in terms of number of moles:
n = 
= 1.12255 mole
Now, Number of moles = 
Molar mass of potassium hydroxide = 56.10 g/mol
1.12255 mole = 
mass in g = 
= 62.97 g
Hence, mass of 
= 62.97 g
I know it would be calcium chloride, not sure why. Maybe someone could answer that part.
