43.8 kJ

<h3>Explanation</h3>

There are two electrodes in a voltaic cell. Which one is the anode?

The lithium atom used to have no oxygen atoms when it was on the reactant side. It gains two oxygen atoms after the reaction. It has gained more oxygen atoms than the manganese atom. Gaining oxygen is oxidation. As a result, lithium is being oxidized.

Oxidation takes place at the anode of a cell. Therefore, the anode of this cell is made of lithium.

Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.94. Each gram of Li would contain 1/6.94 = 0.144 moles of Li atoms. Each Li atom loses one electron in this cell. Therefore, the number of electron transferred, <em>n</em>, equals 0.144 moles for each gram of the anode.

Let w_\text{max} represents the electrical energy produced.

w_\text{max} = n \cdot F \cdot E_\text{cell}, where

  • <em>n</em> is the <em>number of moles</em> electrons transferred,
  • <em>F</em> is the Faraday's constant,
  • <em>E</em>_\text{cell} is the cell potential,

<em>n </em>= 0.144 mol, as shown above, and

<em>F </em>= 96.486 kJ / (\text{V} \cdot \text{mol} \; \text{e}^{-}).

Therefore,

w_\text{max} = n \cdot F \cdot E\\\phantom{w_\text{max}} = 0.144 \times 96.486 \times 3.15 \\\phantom{w_\text{max}} = 43.8 \; \text{kJ}.

What is a key difference between an electrolytic cell and a voltaic cell? The anode is where the oxidation takes place. The cath
Volgvan
the answer is "There is an outside energy source." in voltaic cells, there is not need of an external source of energy because they involve spontaneous reactions. 

in both types of cells, the electrons move from anode to cathode, the anode is where oxidation takes place and cathode for reduction (an ox, red cat). also both have two half reactions.
