Chapter 6, Problem 18E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The mass percent lithium in each ${\text{LiMn}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}$ and ${\text{LiCoO}}_2$ electrode.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The reason for the battery with ${\text{LiMn}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}$ cathode delivers less power on discharging.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The fraction of lithium in ${\text{LiMn}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}$ that delivers same amount as that in ${\text{LiCoO}}_{\text{2}}$ to graphite anode on charging.
