At the given condition of

CH_4 - O_2

fuel
cell the cell emf is 0.8 V and the
enthalpy of combustion of

C{H_4} \text{ (g)}

is
-772 kJ/mol. The maximum efficiency of
the given fuel cell in the given condition
is :

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

0.8

Option C (80%) is correct because the maximum efficiency is calculated by dividing the Gibbs free energy change by the enthalpy change of combustion.
