What is the maximum work that can be obtained from a hydrogen oxygen fuel cell at standard conditions that produces

Question:

What is the maximum work that can be obtained from a hydrogen– oxygen fuel cell at standard conditions that produces 1.00 kg of water at 25oC? Why do we say that this is the maximum work that can be obtained? What are the advantages and disadvantages in using fuel cells rather than the corresponding combustion reactions to produce electricity?
