Fuel cells are the commercial cells which converts the chemical energy into electrical energy and differ from the normal batteries since fuel cells require constant source of fuel and oxygen to obtain electric current. However, they can be used to produce electricity as long as the supply of fuel and oxygen is maintained. All fuel cells consist of an anode and a cathode and an electrolyte which allows charges to move between the two sides of the fuel cell. Electrons are drawn from anode to cathode through an external circuit and hence produce direct current electricity. Under practical cases, efficient of fuel cell is around `40-60%` and in some cases it may be as high as `85-90%`
Some common examples of fuel cell are diect methanol fule cell (DMFC), Direct Borohydride fuel cell (DBFC), alkaline fuel cell (AFC) and others.While in DMFC the electrolyte is an ionomer (proton exchange monomer) in case of `AFC` and DBFC the electrolyte is an aqueous alkaline solution. Also, in case of DBFC the borohydride gets oxidised to metaborate, In all the above three cases, at cathode reduction of `O_(2)`(gas) occurs in a medium controlled by the electrolyte. Based on this information answer the electrolyte. Based on the information answer the question that follow :

Which of the following information is correct about DMFC at `300 K` if mathanol liquid is used as a fuel in DMFC ?

A

`DeltaH_("reaction")^(@) = -730 kJ//"mole" of `O_(2)` consumed

B

`DeltaS_("reaction")^(@) = - 9J//K` mole of methonal consumed

C

`E_("cell")^(@) = 1.21` volts approx.

D

`DeltaG_("cell")^(@) = -727.3 kJ//"mole"` of `CO_(2)` produced.
