Calculate the cell potential of this reaction under standard reaction conditions.? The standard reduction potentials of lithium metal and chlorine gas are as follows:

Reaction Reduction potential

(V)

Li+(aq)+e−→Li(s) −3.04

Cl2(g)+2e−→2Cl−(aq) +1.36

In a galvanic cell, the two half-reactions combine to

2Li(s)+Cl2(g)→2Li+(aq)+2Cl−(aq)

Calculate the cell potential of this reaction under standard...

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

Reduction takes place at the cathode: Cl2(g) + 2e- =>2Cl-(aq) Eº=+1.36 V 
Oxidation takes place at the anode: Li(s) => Li+(aq) + e- Eº=-3.04 V 
Ecell = Ecathode - Eanode 
Ecell = 1.36 - (-3.04) = 4.4 V
