The overall reaction of a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell is:

  1. $2H _{2(g)}+O _{2(g)}\rightarrow 2H _2O _{(l)}$
  2. $2H _{2(g)}+4OH^- _{(aq)}\rightarrow 4H _2O _{(l)}+4e^-$
  3. $O _{2(g)}+2H _2O _{(l)}+4e^-\rightarrow 4OH^- _{(aq)}$
  4. $4OH^- _{(aq)}+4e^-\rightarrow 2H _2O _{(l)}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through an electrochemical reaction of hydrogen fuelwith oxygen or anotheroxidizing agent.
The reactions which takes place in hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell are,
At cathode:$2H _{2(g)}+4OH^{-} _{(aq)}\rightarrow 4H _2O _{(l)}+4e^{-}$
At cathode:$O _{2(g)}+2H _2O _{(l)}+4e^{-}\rightarrow 4OH^{-} _{(aq)}$
Overall reaction: $2H _{2(g)}+O _{2(g)}\rightarrow 2H _2O _{(l)}$
