a) In a solid oxide fuel cell we use graphite as fuel. 1) Write down the cathodic and anodic reactions 2) What is the standard operating potential at 1000\deg C and 1 bar if \Delta GfoCO2(g)=-395.865 kJ/mol b)1)When charging a lead battery, the reactions PbSO4+2e Pb + SO4, U^\theta =-0.356~V
U^\theta =0V (in pure lead) with corresponding exchange current densities io(Pb)=100A/m^2, io(H2)=6.6*10^-10 A/m^2. Calculate the current density of each reaction using the Butler-Volmer equation and when the electrode potential is held constant at -0.44V (with respect to SHE).(Take T=298K and coefficients aa=ac=0.5)2) In case the lead has antimony (Sb) impurity the new value of io(H2)Sb=3.7*10^-4 A/m^2) Calculate the new current density for H2 and in each case find the percentage (%) consumed for the undesired reaction.
