(a)
Interpretation:
The energy released for each mole of lithium oxidised during the discharge of the battery has to be determined if the battery produces a voltage of
Concept introduction:
In voltaic cell, the maximum cell potential is directly related to the free energy difference between the reactants and products in the cell.
The relation between standard cell potential and equilibrium constant is as follows.
(b)
Interpretation:
The energy released per kilogram of lithium has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
In voltaic cell, the maximum cell potential is directly related to the free energy difference between the reactants and products in the cell.
The relation between standard cell potential and equilibrium constant is as follows.
