Because all alkali metals react with water, it is not possible to measure the standard reduction potentials of these metals directly as in the ease of, say, zinc. An indirect method is to consider the following hypothetical reaction:
Using the appropriate equation presented in this chapter and the thermodynamic data in Appendix 2, calculate E° for Li+(aq) + e− Li(s) at 298 K. Use 96,485.338 C/mol e− for the Faraday constant. Compare your result with that listed in Table 19.1.
