Find the Gibbs free energy for the above cell reaction (ΔG = -nFE: F = 96485 C, n = no. of electrons and E = cell potential). Use the cell voltage you received in questions 21.

Li-ion batteries are well known. The reaction of a Li-ion battery is shown below LiCoO2  +  C6  ↔  Li1-xCoO2  +  LixC6 Forward reaction occurs during the charging process, and the reverse reaction (discharge) occurs when the battery is in use. What is the oxidation state of Co in the LiCoO2 species? (Hint: Li has the same oxidation number as other elements in the same group)
