Given the lithium battery :
SOCl2/S8 and Li+/Li
The lithium is oxidised.
Thionyl chloride SOCl2 is reduced to S8 and SO2
Write the equations of the reactions at the electrodes!
A natural reaction takes place between the strongest reducing agent Li and the strongest oxidising agent SOCl2:
16 SOCl2+32e-
S8+8SO2+32Cl-
LiLi++1e-
