(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

• Referring given lithium battery with an activities, during discharge reduction half-reaction for the anode and cathode has to be written.
• Net reaction and for that reaction ${\text{E}}^{\text{o}}$ has to be written.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reaction found when the battery is being recharged when car engine is running has to be written. One reduction and oxidation has to be written.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For each half-reaction Nernst equation has to be written with activity coefficients and both equations has to be combined as a single Nernst equation.
