In a fuel cell hydrogen and oxygen react to produce electricity. In the process hydrogen gas is oxidised at the anode and oxygen at the cathode. If

67.2 \mathrm{~L}

of

\mathrm{H}_2

at STP react in 15 minutes, what is the average current produced ? If the entire current is used for electrodeposition of copper from copper (II) solution, how many grams of copper will be deposited ?

Anode reaction :

\mathrm{H}_2+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-}

Cathode reaction:

\mathrm{O}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{OH}^{-}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

190

Option A (190) is correct because it is the approximate mass of copper deposited, calculated based on the stoichiometry of the reaction and Faraday's laws of electrolysis.
