Question:

A possible reaction for a fuel cell isCH4(g) + 20(g)  CO(g) + 2HO(e)

(a) Write the oxidation and reduction half-reactions that occur, assuming a basic electrolyte.

(b) Use standard free energies of formation from Appendix G to calculate ΔG° for a methane-oxygen cell.
From the standard free energy change, calculate the potential this cell could produce under standard conditions.

(c) Calculate the number of kilojoules of electrical energy produced when 1 g methane, CH4, is consumed.
