Assume an electrolytic cell for converting water to hydrogen is 100%efficient. How much CO2 will be emitted in the production of 100L of H2 gas id the electrlytic cell is supplied electricity from a 33% efficient power plant using pentane (C5H10) as the fuel?

1 mol H2 gas volume of 24.5 L at room temp

Standard voltage is 120V

heat of combustion of pentane is 45kJ/g

The standard heat of combustion for H2 to form liquid water is -285.84 kJ/mol. The standard equilibrium voltage for converting hydrogen and oxygen to liquid water is 1.229 V. a) Calculate the thermodynamic fuel efficiency for H2 in a fuel cell at 25°C. That is, what is the maximum fraction of the hydrogen’s energy content that can be converted to electrical work? b) If the fuel cell operates at 0.70 V, what fraction of the hydrogen’s energy content is converted...

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...
