A galvanic cell makes use of the following half reactions: Li(s) -> Li+(aq) + e, E = +3.05V; F2(g) + 2e(aq) -> 2F-(aq), E = +2.85V. What is the voltage of the cell?

  • A. 0.20V
  • B. 3.25V
  • C. 5.90VCorrect
  • D. 8.95V

Explanation

Cell voltage = sum of the given oxidation potential (Li) and reduction potential (F2): 3.05 + 2.85 = 5.90V.
