In a different electrolysis, molten lithium chloride (
2LiCl→2Li+Cl2 2\text{LiCl} \rightarrow 2\text{Li} + \text{Cl}_2 2LiCl→2Li+Cl2) is decomposed.
(Relative atomic masses:
Li=7 \text{Li} = 7 Li=7,
Cl=35.5 \text{Cl} = 35.5 Cl=35.5; Relative formula mass of
LiCl=42.5 \text{LiCl} = 42.5 LiCl=42.5)
Calculate the maximum mass of lithium that could be formed from 170 g of lithium chloride.
