What are fuel cells? State Two advantages of hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell over ordinary cell.
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Definition of Fuel Cells: Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy through a redox reaction between fuel (e.g., hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (e.g., oxygen).
Step 2: Advantages of Hydrogen-Oxygen Fuel Cell: 1. Higher Efficiency: Fuel cells have higher efficiency compared to conventional electrochemical cells. 2. Eco-friendly: Produces only water as a byproduct, making it environmentally friendly.

- Calculate \( \Lambda_m^0 \) for acetic acid and its degree of dissociation (\( \alpha \)) if its molar conductivity is 48.1 \( \Omega^{-1} \, \text{cm}^2 \, \text{mol}^{-1} \).
Given that
\( \Lambda_m^0 (\text{HC}) = 426 \, \Omega^{-1} \, \text{cm}^2 \, \text{mol}^{-1} \),
\( \Lambda_m^0 (\text{NaCl}) = 126 \, \Omega^{-1} \, \text{cm}^2 \, \text{mol}^{-1} \),
\( \Lambda_m^0 (\text{CH}_3\text{COONa}) = 91 \, \Omega^{-1} \, \text{cm}^2 \, \text{mol}^{-1} \).- CBSE CLASS XII - 2025
