Chapter 11, Problem 44E

The overall reaction and equilibrium constant value fora hydrogen−oxygen fuel cell at 298 K is
${\text{2H}}_{\text{2}}\text{(}g{\text{)+O}}_{\text{2}}\text{(}g\text{)}\to {\text{2H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O(}l\text{)}K\text{=1}{\text{.28×10}}^{\text{83}}$
a. Calculate and $\Delta G°$ at 298 K for the fuel-cellreaction.
b. Predict the signs of $\Delta H°$ and $\Delta S°$ for the fuel-cellreaction.
c. As temperature increases, does the maximumamount of work obtained from the fuel-cell reactionincrease, decrease, or remain the same? Explain.
