    Which of the following reaction is used to make a fuel cell?

    A)  \[0.05M\,KCl{{O}_{4}}+0.05M\,HCl{{O}_{4}}\]                                       \[CaO(s)+C{{O}_{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons CaC{{O}_{3}}(s)\]

    B)  \[CaO(s)+C{{O}_{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons CaC{{O}_{3}}(s)\]                                         \[K{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[Si{{O}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[Ti{{O}_{2}}\]                                         \[Ba{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Cell which convert chemical energy of a fuel directly into electrical energy is called fuel cell. May be \[Sn/HCl\] fuel cell, also called Bacon cell. The net reaction taking place in a Bacon cell is \[{{H}_{2}}/Pd-C\] Other fuel cells are Propane oxygen fuel cell \[Zn/NaOH\] Methane oxygen fuel cell \[Zn/N{{H}_{4}}Cl\] Methanol oxygen fuel cell \[{{H}_{2}}O/{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] Note: Efficiency of fuel cells is 70-75% which is much higher than conventional cells (40% only),
