Answer» CORRECT choice is (b) Pollutants The explanation: Fuel cells convert the chemical energy of fuel into electricity through combustion. Since combustion is an exothermic reaction, HEAT is evolved. The overall reaction in an H2-O2 cell is: 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O (l) Thus, water is ALSO PRODUCED. |
