For a fuel cell, which statementis correct?
Hydrogen is oxidised to H2O at cathode
Oxygen is reduced to OH- at anode
Hydrogen is oxidised to H2O at anode
Hydrogen is oxidised to H+ at anode
C.
Hydrogen is oxidised to H2O at anode
Galvanic cells which use energy for combustion of fuels like H2, CH4, CH3OH etc as the source to produce electncal energy are called fuel cells Fuel cell uses the reaction of H2 and O2 in gaseous state to form water.
At anode, hydrogen is oxidised to H2O
(i) 2H2 → 4H+ + 4e-
(ii) 4H+ + 4OH- → 4H2O
2 × 10-5C charge on Zn2+ ions corresponds to
2 × 10-5 mol of Zn2+ ions

The standard reduction potentials of Zn and Ag in water at 298 K are, Zn2+ + 2e- Zn; E° = -0.76 V and Ag+ + e- Ag; E° = +0.80 V? Which of the following reactions take place?
Zn2+ (aq) + 2Ag (s) → 2Ag+ (aq) + Zn (s)
Zn (s) + 2Ag+ (aq) → Zn2+ (aq) + 2Ag (s)
Zn2+ (aq) + Ag+ (aq) → Zn (s) + Ag (s)
Zn (s) + Ag (s) → Zn2+ (aq) + Ag+ (aq)
