Question

6. In a direct methanol fuel cell methanol is used as a fuel instead of hydrogen. The inputs on the anode side are methanol (CH3OH) and water. Oxygen gas is the input on the cathode side. The outputs of the fuel cell are carbon dioxide and water. (hint: inputs = reactants, outputs = products and use the charged particles that flow between the anode and cathode to balance materials and charge) a. Balance the half reactions below for this fuel cell by adding the coefficients to balance the elements and adding electrons to balance the charges. The reactions shown assume the fuel cell is operating under acidic conditions. b. Label the half reactions below as oxidation or reduction. CH3OH + H2O -> CO2 + H+ O2 + H+ -> H2O c. Write the overall reaction for this fuel cell
