Question

For hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, the cell reaction is:

2H2(g)+O2(g)2H2O(l)

If ΔGof(H2O)=237.2 kJmol1, then emf of this cell is:

  1. +1.23V
  2. 1.23V
  3. 2.46V
  4. +2.46V

A
2.46V
B
1.23V
C
+1.23V
D
+2.46V
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is C +1.23V
Gibbs free energy, ΔGo=nFEo

Eo=ΔGonF

=237.2×1000J2×96500

=1.23V[n=2]
