Consider a 70% efficient hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell working under standard conditions at 1 bar and 298 K. Its cell reaction is
The work derived from the cell on the consumption of 1.0 × 10–3mol of H2(g) is used to compress 1.00 mol of a monoatomic ideal gas in a thermally insulted container. What is the change in the temperature (in K) of the ideal gas ?
The standard reduction potentials for the two half-cells are given below.
