Question

The standard reduction potentials of lithium metal and chlorine gas are as follows:

Reaction	Reduction Potential (V)
	-3.04
	+1.36

In a galvanic cell, the two half-reaction combine to:

Part B. Calculate the free energy of the reaction. Express your answer in kilojoules.

Part C. What can be said about the spontaneity of this reaction?

• The reaction is spontaneous as written.
• The reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction.
• The reaction is at equiliibrium.
• The reaction is nonspontaneous.
