In a hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell, combustion of hydrogen occurs to
Options
- Aproduce high purity water
- Bgenerate heat
- Cremove adsorbed oxygen from electrode surfaces
- Dcreate potential difference between the two electrodes
Correct answer
D. create potential difference between the two electrodes
Step-by-step solution
Any cell [like fuel cell], works when potential difference is developed.In a hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell, combustion of hydrogen occurs tocreate potential difference between the two electrodes.
