D Correct answer
Explanation

Dihydrogen fuel is a zero-emission fuel when burned with oxygen (if one considers water not as an emission) or used in a contained cell. The energy released enables hydrogen to act as a fuel. In an electrochemical cell, that energy can be used with relatively high efficiency.

  1. has high molecular weight.

  2. a medium for storage of energy

  3. excellent fuel

  4. both B and C

D Correct answer
Explanation

Hydrogen is not found in pure form on Earth, however, so it must be produced from other compounds such as natural gas, biomass, alcohols or water. In all cases it takes energy to convert these into pure hydrogen. For that reason, hydrogen is really an energy carrier or storage medium rather than an energy source in itself.

Basic principle of hydrogen economy is:

  1. transportation of energy in the form of liquid or gaseous dihydrogen

  2. storage of energy in the form of liquid or gaseous dihydrogen

  3. both $A$ and $B$
  4. none of the above

C Correct answer
Explanation

The usage of hydrogen as a low-carbon energy source, such as gasoline as a transport fuel, it is referred to as "Hydrogen economy". The basic principles of Hydrogen economy are:-

(i) Storage of energy in the form of liquid or gaseous dihydrogen.
(ii) transportation of energy in the form of liquid or gaseous dihydrogen.
Thus the answer is both (A) and (B).
