- The free energy change for a reaction, rG, is the maximum energy that can be extracted from the process as work, whereas rH is the total chemical potential energy change. The efficiency of a fuel cell is the ratio of these two quantities. Efficiency=rGrH100 Consider the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, where the net reaction is H2(g)+12O2(g)H2O(l) (a) Calculate the efficiency of the fuel cell under standard conditions. (b) Calculate the efficiency of the fuel cell if the product is water vapor instead of liquid water. (c) Does the efficiency depend on the state of the reaction product? Why or why not?arrow_forwardAn aqueous solution of an unknown salt of gold is electrolyzed by a current of 2.75 amps for 3.39 hours.

- Identify each statement as true or false. Rewrite each false statement to make it true. (a) Oxidation always occurs at the anode of an electrochemical cell. (b) The anode of a discharging voltaic cell is the site ofreduction and is negative. (c) Standard-state conditions for electrochemical cells are aconcentration of 1.0 M for dissolved species and a pressure of 1 bar for gases.

(e) All product-favored oxidation-reduction reactions have astandard cell potential Ecell, with a negative sign.arrow_forwardThe mass of three different metal electrodes, each from a different galvanic cell, were determined before and after the current generated by the oxidation-reduction reaction in each cell was allowed to flow for a few minutes. The first metal electrode, given the label A, was found to have increased in mass; the second metal electrode, given the label B, did not change in mass; and the third metal electrode, given the label C, was found to have lost mass. Make an educated guess as to which electrodes were active and which were inert electrodes, and which were anode(s) and which were the cathode(s).arrow_forwardHow does a geothermal power plant generate electricity?
