The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements and determine their validity and relationship. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement-I**: - Statement-I claims that the `H2 + O2` fuel cell gives a constant voltage throughout its life. - This is generally true for fuel cells, as they can maintain a relatively constant voltage as long as reactants are supplied and the system is functioning properly. 2. **Understanding Statement-II**: - Statement-II states that in this fuel cell, `H2` reacts with `OH^(-)` ions, yet the overall concentration of `OH^(-)` ions does not change. - To understand this, we need to look at the reactions occurring in the fuel cell. 3. **Analyzing the Anode Reaction**: - At the anode, the reaction can be represented as: \[ 2H2 + 4OH^{-} \rightarrow 4H2O + 4e^{-} \] - Here, `OH^(-)` ions are consumed in the reaction. 4. **Analyzing the Cathode Reaction**: - At the cathode, the reaction can be represented as: \[ O2 + 2H2O + 4e^{-} \rightarrow 4OH^{-} \] - In this reaction, `OH^(-)` ions are produced. 5. **Conclusion on `OH^(-)` Concentration**: - The amount of `OH^(-)` consumed at the anode is equal to the amount produced at the cathode. Therefore, the overall concentration of `OH^(-)` ions remains unchanged throughout the operation of the fuel cell. 6. **Final Evaluation**: - Since both statements are true and Statement-II provides a correct explanation for Statement-I, we conclude that both statements are valid and related. ### Final Answer: - Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true, and Statement-II is the correct explanation of Statement-I.
