Which of the following is not correct for a fuel cell?A. It can strore chemical energyB. Reactants are continously spplied to the cellC. Products are continuosly removed from the cellD. It is a voltaic cell |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A A fuel cell is essentially a battery but if differs by operating with a continuous supply of energetic reactants, or fuel. The first fuel cell was invented in `1839` by William Groves. He obtained the cell b y electrolyzing water and collecting the `H_(2)` and `O_(2)` in small, inverted test tubes. After removing the battery current would flow from the cell. In effect, the electrolysis charged the cell, after which it operated as a fuel cell. In its simplest form, `H_(2)//O_(2)` fuel cell consists of an electrolyte solution, such as sodium or potassium hydroxide solution, and two inert electrodes. `H_(2)` and `O_(2)` gases are bubbled through the anode and cathode compartments. Unlike batteries, fuel cell do not store chemical energy. |

Chemically rust isA. `Fe(OH)_(3)`B. `Fe(OH)_(2)`C. `Fe_(2)O_(3)`D. `Fe_(2)O_(3).xH_(2)O` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - D Rust is an hydrated oxide of iron, mainly `Fe_(2)O_(3).xH_(2)O` formed on the surface of iron when it is exposed to moisture and air. Consider the rusting that occurs when a drop of water is in contact with iron. The edge of the water drop exposed to the air becomes one pole of a voltaic cell. At this edge, molecular `O_(2)` from air is reduced to hydroxide ion in solution. `O_(2)(g)+2H_(2)O(l)+4e^(-) rarr 4OH^(-)(aq.)` The electrons for this reduciton are supplied by the oxidation of metallic iron to the edge of the drop. Thus, the metallic iron funcations, as the ecternal circuit between the cell poles. Ions move within the water drop, completing the electric circuit, Iron `(II)` iron move outward from tghe center of the drop, and hydroxide ions move inward from the edge. The two ions meet in a doughnut-shaped region, where they react to precipitate iron `(II)` hydroxide. `Fe^(2+)(aq.)+2OH^(-)(aq.) rarr Fe(OH)_(2)(s)` This precipitate is quickly oxidized by `O_(2)` to rust (approxi-mated by the formula `Fe_(2)O_(3).H_(2)O)`. `4Fe^(OH)_(2)(s)+O_(2)(g) rarr 2Fe_(2)O_(3).H_(2)O(s)+2H_(2)O(l)` Thus rust is formed between the anode and cathode. We can regard rust as a mixture of `Fe_(2)O_(3)` and `Fe(OH)_(3)`. |

Corrosion ofA. an oxidation processB. a redox processC. a redox processD. neither an oxidation nor a redox process |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C Corrosion processes are electron trsfers, oxidation-reduction processes that occur when the surface of a metal is in contact with atmosphere. A potential difference in the composition of the metal, which aries from lattice defects, imprities, or even partial oxidation. This potential difference makes it possible for a corrosion process resembling the operation of a galvanic cell to take place on the metal surface. The site of oxidation and the site of the reduction can be separeted in space. Electrons flow betwenn these sites through electrical connection of a glavanic cell. Water vapor that condness on the metal surface provides the solution through which the ions flow. |
