    Anode reaction of a fuel cell is

    A)  \[Zn(Hg)+2O{{H}^{-}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}ZnO(s)+{{H}_{2}}O+2{{e}^{-}}\]

    B)  \[Pb(s)+SO_{4}^{2-}(aq)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}PbS{{O}_{4}}(s)+2{{e}^{-}}\]

    C)  \[2{{H}_{2}}(g)+4O{{H}^{-}}(aq)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}4{{H}_{2}}O(l)+4{{e}^{-}}\]

    D)  \[2Fe(s)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2F{{e}^{2+}}+4{{e}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Anode reaction for a fuel cell (cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electrical energy) is \[2{{H}_{2}}(g)+4O{{H}^{-}}(aq)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}4{{H}_{2}}O(l)+4{{e}^{-}}\]
