Reactions of lithium with various oxidizing agents have been examined for use in batteries. A particularly well studied case is that of the lithium-sulfur battery. What is the
potential that is possible for a battery that
operates on the reaction of Li(s) with S(s)?
The individual reduction potentials are given
here:
Li+ + e− → Li E◦ = −3.05 V
S + 2 e− → S2− E◦ = −0.48 V
Answer in units of V.

Effect of rotenone and antimycin a on electron transfer rotenone, a toxic natural product from plants, strongly inhibits nadh dehydrogenase of insect and fish mitochondria. antimycin a, a toxic antibiotic, strongly inhibits the oxidation of ubiquinol. (a) explain why rotenone ingestion is lethal to some insect and fish species. (b) explain why antimycin a is a poison. (c) given that rotenone and antimycin a are equally effective in blocking their respective sites in the electron-transfer chain, which would be a more potent poison? explain.
