For hydrogen oxygen fuel cell with reaction
`2H_(2)(g)+O_(2)(g) rarr 2 H_(2)O(l)`
`DeltaG_(f)^(c-)(H_(2)O)=-237.2kJ mol^(-1)`. Hence, `EMF` of the fuel cell is

A

`+2.4 6V`

B

`-2.46V`

C

`+1.23V`

D

`-1.23V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
`DeltaG^(@)=-nE^(@)F`
`E^(@)=(DeltaG^(@))/(-nF)`
`=(-237.2xx10^(3))/(-2xx96500)=1.229V`
`=1.23V`
