1. Based on the information given, which of the following is a major difference between the zinc-mercury cell and the lithium-iodine cell? A During the initial cell operation, each reaction is ther... modynamically favorable, but the larger operating potential of the lithium-iodine cell indicates that its cell reaction is less thermodynamically favorable. B During the initial cell operation, each reaction is thermodynamically favorable, but the larger operating potential of the lithium-iodine cell indicates that its cell reaction is more thermodynamically favorable. C During the initial cell operation, the oxidation of iodine is thermodynamically favorable but the oxidation of mercury is not. D During the initial cell operation, the oxidation of mercury is thermodynamically favorable but not the oxidation of iodine is not. [Show More]
