A single PEM fuel cell is generating power at the rate of 100 W at a voltage of 0.7 V.

a. How many moles of Hydrogen and Oxygen does the cell consume per hour?

b. How many moles of water are being created per hour?

c. If all of this water is condensed to liquid state, what is the rate of water production in L/h by the cell?

d. From this result, express the volume of liquid water per kWh of electric power produced.

Hydrogen reacts with oxygen to produce electrical energy in a fuel cell. 2H2(g) -> 4H+ + 4e- O2(g) + 4e- -> 2O2- 2H2(g) + O2(g) -> 2H2O(l)    Eo = +1.23 V Due to losses (typically heat) a fuel cell may actually produce about 1.0 V, but it is still more efficient than an internal combustion engine. The power in hydrogen can be expressed in units of Watts. The Watt in electricity is defined as the volts times current (amperes) 1...

1 In the absence of oxygen, cells consume glucose at a high, steady rate. When oxygen is added, glucose consumption drops precipitously and is then maintained at the lower rate. Why is glucose consumed at a high rate in the absence of oxygen and at a low rate in its presence? 2 In the following diagram showing the distribution of thermal energy in a population of substrate molecules, the energy thresholds indicated by numbers represent ... Energy per molecule Number...

Exploring Innovation in Action Power to the People – Lifeline Energy Trevor Baylis was quite a swimmer in his youth, representing Britain at the age of 15. So it wasn’t entirely surprising that he ended up working for a swimming pool firm in Surrey before setting up his own company. He continued his swimming passion – working as a part-time TV stuntman doing underwater feats – but also followed an interest in inventing things. One of the projects he began...
