1. Determine the maximum theoretical efficiency, open circuit voltage, and maximum theoretical work output per mole of carbon consumed in a carbon?oxygen fuel cell operating with the reaction C(s) + O2 → CO2, when each component in the reaction is at 25.0°C and 0.100 MPa.
2. Repeat given Example for a fuel cell that operates on hydrogen and 100.% theoretical air (instead of pure oxygen), each at 25.0°C and 0.100 MPa.
Example :
Determine the maximum theoretical reaction efficiency, open circuit voltage, and maximum theoretical work output per mole of hydrogen consumed for the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell operating at 25.0°C and 0.100 MPa, shown in given Figure.
