Which of the following statements are correct? Fuel cells are galvanic cells in which the chemical energy of fuel is directly converted into electrical energy. 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 nad hydrogen are continuously fed into the cell. Hydrogen gets oxidized to H^(oplus) which is neutralized by overset(Θ)(OH) , ie., anodic reaction. H_(2) hArr 2H^(oplus) + 2e^(-) 2H^(oplus) + 2 overset(Θ)(OH) hArr 2H_(2)O H_(2) + 2 overset(Θ)(OH) hArr 2H_(2)O + 2e^(-) At cathode, O_(2) gets reduced to overset(Θ)(OH) i.e., O_(2) + 2H_(2)O + 4e^(-) hArr overset(Θ)(4)OH Hence, the net reaction is 2H_(2) + O_(2) hArr 2H_(2)O The overall reaction has Delta H= -285.6kJ mol^(-1) and Delta G= -237.4kJ mol^(-1) " at " 25^(@)C A fuel cell is I. A voltaic cell in which continuous supply of fuels are sent at anode to perform oxidation II. A voltaic cell in which fuels such as CH_(4), H_(2) and CO are used up at anode. III. One which involves the reaction of H_(2)- O_(2) fuel cell such as: Anode 2H_(2) + 4 overset(Θ)(OH) rarr 4H_(2)O(I) + 4e^(-) cathode : O+ 2H_(2)O(I) + 4e^(-) rarr 4 overset(Θ)(OH) IV. The efficiency of H_(2)-O_(2) fuel cell is 70 to 75%
