| Calculate the mass fraction of the product yield if during the electrolysis of the melt 42.5 g of LiCl 9.52 liters of chlorine were released at the anode.
2LiCl = (electrolysis) = Cl2 + 2Li
n (LiCl) = 42.5 / 42.5 = 1 mol
V (Cl2) = 1 x 22.4 = 22.4 l
η (Cl2) = 9.52 / 22.4 x 100% = 42.5 ≅ 43%
Answer: The mass fraction of chlorine yield is 43%.
