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

    A) \[2{{H}_{2}}(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\to 2{{H}_{2}}O(l)\]

    B) \[2Fe(s)+{{O}_{2}}(g)+4{{H}^{+}}(aq)\to \]  \[2F{{e}^{2+}}(aq)+2{{H}_{2}}O(l)\]

    C) \[Pb(s)+Pb{{O}_{2}}(s)+2{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}(aq)\to \] \[2PbS{{O}_{4}}(s)+{{H}_{2}}O(l)\]

    D) \[Cd(s)+2Ni{{(OH)}_{3}}(s)\to \]       \[CdO(s)+2Ni{{(OH)}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O(l)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Galvanic cells which use energy of combustion of fuels like \[{{H}_{2}},C{{H}_{4}},C{{H}_{3}}OH\]etc, as the source to produce electronic energy are called fuel cells. \[2{{H}_{2}}(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\to 2{{h}_{2}}O(l)\]
