D. is eco-friendly
E. is actually a type of Galvanic cell only
A. has been used in spaceship
B. has as efficiency of 40% to produce electricity
C. uses aluminium as catalysts
D. is eco-friendly
E. is actually a type of Galvanic cell only
- A,B,C only
- A,B,D only
- A,B,D,E only
- A,D,E only
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
A fuel cell, specifically using hydrogen and oxygen, has found applications in spaceships due to its capability to provide electricity in a lightweight, efficient form. It does not use aluminum as a catalyst but rather commonly uses platinum or other noble metals. Fuel cells operate in an eco-friendly manner, emitting only water as a by-product. Furthermore, they can be categorized as galvanic cells since they convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy.
