If the fuel cell used methanol (CH,OH) fuel instead of H, what would be the minimum amount (in grams) of methanol required for 100 hof life again assuming 100% fuel utilization? Methanol has a molecular mass of 32 g/mol. What would be the corresponding volume of liquid methanol fuel (the density of liquid methanol is 0.79 g/cm?)?
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
![3.12 This problem has several
parts:
a. If a portable electronic device draws 1 A current at a voltage of 2.5 V, what is the
power requirement for the device?
b. You have designed a fuel cell that delivers 1 A at 0.5 V. How many of your fuel cells
are required to supply the above portable electronic device with its necessary voltage
and current requirements?
c. You would like the portable electronic device to have an operating lifetime of 100 h.
Assuming 100% fuel utilization, what is the minimum amount of H, fuel (in grams)
required?
d. If this H, fuel is stored as a compressed gas at 500 atm, what volume would it occupy
(assume ideal gas, room temperature)? If it is stored as a metal hydride at 5 wt %
hydrogen, what volume would it occupy? (Assume the metal hydride has a density of
10 g/cm.)
e. If the fuel cell used methanol (CH;OH) fuel instead of H, what would be the minimum
amount (in grams) of methanol required for 100 h of life again assuming 100% fuel
utilization? Methanol has a molecular mass of 32 g/mol. What would be the
corresponding volume of liquid methanol fuel (the density of liquid methanol is 0.79
g/cm)?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F40f259f7-3dc0-4a38-afc8-0182e1dee105%2F0ea820e5-12bf-4acf-9c2a-5f387a089a57%2F6y1b6if_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
