    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)

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

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