In a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, combustion of hydrogen occurs to :

A

remove adsorbed oxygen from electrode surfaces.

B

create potential difference between the two electrodes.

C

produce high purity water

D

generate heat

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`{:(2H_(2)+4OH_((aq.))^(-)rarr4H_(2)O_((l))+4e),(O_(2(g))+2H_(2)O_((l))+4erarr4OH_(aq.)^(-)),(bar(2H_(2)+O_(2(g))rarr2H_(2(g))rarr2H_(2)O_((l)),E_(cell)^(0)=+ve)):}`
Fuel cell involves direct conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy.

Fuel cells : Fuel cells are galvanic cells in which the chemical energy of fuel cell is directly converted into electrical energy. A type of fuel cell is a hydrogen - oxygen fuel cell. It consists of two electrodes made up of two porous graphite impregnated with a catalyst ( platinum, silver, or metal oxide ). The electrodes are placed in aqueous solution of NaOH . Oxygen and hydrogen are continuously fed into the cell. Hydrogen gets oxidized to H^(o+) which is neutralized by overset(c-)(O)H, i.e., anodic reaction. At cathode, O_(2) gets reduced to overset(c-)(O)H Hence, the net reaction is The overall reaction has DeltaH=-285.6 kJ mol^(-1) and DeltaG=-237.4 kJ mol^(-1) at 25^(@)C If the cell voltage is 1.23V for the H_(2)-O_(2) fuel cell and for the half cell :
