In methanol fuel cell, `CO_(2)(g)` is evolved due to the oxidation of methanol at the anode, and oxygen is reduced at the cathode. Write anode and cathode reactions of the cell.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Anode reaction :
`CH_(3)OH(aq)+H_(2)O(s)rarr CO_(2)(g)+6H^(+)(aq)+6e`
Cathode reaction :
`(3)/(2)O_(2)(g)+6H^(+)+6e rarr3H_(2)O(l)`
