Question: Suppose a battery using lithium and tin as the electrodes is discharged. The overall reaction shown below is determined to take place at 0.53 V
Suppose a battery using lithium and tin as the electrodes is discharged. The overall reaction shown below is determined to take place at 0.53 V using a Li/Li+ reference electrode (0.53 vs. Li/Li+). 3 LiSn + 4 Li Li7Sn3
a) What is the voltage of this reaction on the standard hydrogen electrode scale?
b) Determine the anodic and cathodic half-reactions.
c) Determine the voltages for each half-reaction in the Li/Li+ and SHE voltage scales. In other words, determine Va and Vc in both V vs. Li/Li+
