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`
What is the value of `DeltaS^(c-)` for the fuel cell at `25^(@)C`?

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 :
