Another common type of battery involves lithium and iron Which half cell will have a higher reduction potential? Which metal will be present at the cathode and which at the anode?

Answer 1

Reduction potentials form a table:

Li⁺ + e- ==> Li Eº = -3.04 V (anode)

Fe²⁺ + 2e- ==> Fe Eº = -0.41 V (cathode)

The higher reduction potential is the Fe half cell reaction

Iron will be present at the cathode
