A lithium battery is being developed. Its voltaic cell is constructed based on Li metal electrode and PbSO4 solid electrode. Their standard reduction potentials at 25 oC are given below.
Eo(Li+ (aq) à Li (s)) = -3.040 Volt
Eo(PbSO4 (s) à Pb (s) + SO42- (aq)) = - 0.356 Volt.
Which of the following statements is true about this working (spontaneous) voltaic cell?
Choose one option only:
a. The anode is PbSO4 (s) electrode.
b. The standard cell potential of this voltaic cell is Eo(cell) = 2.328 Volt
c. PbSO4 (s) is a weaker oxidizing agent than Li+.
d. To make a commercial product, the voltaic cell is adjusted to have [Li+] = 2.1 M and [SO42-] = 3.5 M. The cell potential E under this condition should be less than the standard cell potential Eo(cell).
e. None of the above
