In a Li-ion battery the composition of the cathode is LiCoO2 when completely discharged. On charging approximately 50% of the Li+ ions can be extracted from the cathode and transported to the graphite anode where they intercalate between the layers. a)What is the composition of the cathode when the battery is fully charged? Write the mole ratios of the elements in the cathode. b)If the LiCoO2 cathode has a mass of 18 g (when fully discharged), how many coulombs of electricity can be delivered on completely discharging a fully charged battery?
