In an attempt to understand the mechanism of the depolarization process in a fuel cell, an electro-kinetic model for mixed oxygen-methanol current on platinum was developed in the laboratory at FAMU. A very simplified model of the reaction developed suggests a functional relation in an integral form. To find the time required for 50% of the oxygen to be consumed, the time, T(s) is given by

1. Using Trapezoidal rule write a code to find the time required for 50% of the oxygen to be consumed (NB don't use the trapz command). 

2. Use the trapz function to solve the above equation and find the time elapsed.
