In the production of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, cathode efficiency is highly dependent on the mass proportion of active lithium within the cathode material, lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2\text{LiCoO}_2LiCoO2).
Calculate the percentage (%) by mass of lithium in lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2\text{LiCoO}_2LiCoO2). Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
Relative atomic mass (ArA_rAr): Li=6.9\text{Li} = 6.9Li=6.9. Relative formula mass (MrM_rMr): LiCoO2=97.8\text{LiCoO}_2 = 97.8LiCoO2=97.8.
