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, n, 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

n is the number of moles electrons transferred,
F is the Faraday's constant,
E $_\text{cell}$ is the cell potential,

n = 0.144 mol, as shown above, and

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

Therefore,

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

How to do dots and cross diagrams

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Draw circles to represent the electron shell of each atom overlapping the circles where the atoms are bonded. Add dots to represent the outer electrons of one type of atom (H). Add crosses to represent the outer electrons of the other type of atom (Cl). Make sure the electrons are always in pairs.
