2 Li (s) + Cl₂→ 2 Li⁺ (aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

The cell potential of the reaction above is + 4.40V

calculation

Cell potential = ∈° red - ∈° oxidation

in reaction above Li is oxidized from oxidation state 0 to + 1 therefore the∈° oxid = - 3.04

Cl is reduce from oxidation state 0 to - 1 therefore the ∈°red = + 1.36 V

cell potential is therefore = + 1.36 v - - 3.04 = + 4.40 V
