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:
Hydrogen is an element
Explanation:
Hydrogen is an element with only hydrogen atoms, whereas air, carbon dioxide, and water are all made up of multiple elements with different types of atoms.
Answer:
[SO2Cl2] = = 0.015 M
[SO2] = = 0.0027 M
[Cl2] = = 0.0027 M
Q = = = 4.8 × 10−4
No. Q < Kc, so reaction will shift to the right.
Explanation:
1 mole is equal to 1 moles Ammonium Sulfate, or 132.13952 grams
Answer: C. The number of atoms of each element is the same on each side of the equation.
Explanation:
The Law of Conservation of Matter shows that it is not possible for matter to either be created nor for it to be destroyed so the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side of the equation must equal the number of atoms in each element on the product side of the equation.
This is why the following equation is incomplete:
H₂ + O₂ ⇒ H₂O
The oxygen atoms are not the same on either side.
Equation will therefor have to be balanced which will make it:
2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂O
Notice now that atoms are the same on both sides.
