Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Where does hydrogen Fuel cells come from.

• Carbon Dioxide

• Hydrogen

• Natural gas

• fuel

 

Fuel cells produce

• Electricity

• Fossil Fuels

• Hydrogen Gas

• Gasoline

 

A hydrogen fuel cell is most similar to?

• A Source of coal

• A Photovoltaic cell

• An Engine

• A Battery

Why are fuel cell vehicles better than conventional.

• It uses hydrogen not fossil fuels for the fuel.

• All of the above.

• It has no tail pipe emissions.

• Can go twice as far as a conventional vehicle on 1 gallon.

Hydrogen Fuel cells generate electricity by combining hydrogen with oxygen.

• True

• False

 

What is the difference between a battery and a fuel cell?

• Fuel cells are cheaper than batteries.

• A fuel cell can be used only in a car, while batteries have lots of uses.

• A battery eventually dies, but a fuel cell continually recharges itself.

Hydrogen fuel cell technology appears to eliminate the need for fossil fuels altogether. How might fossil fuels still be needed even if scientists are successful in creating a vehicle that may run on hydrogen produced from the electrolysis of water?

• Electricity generation that will be used in the production of hydrogen gas and other components of the vehicle.

• Transportation of hydrogen gas from one location.

• If hydrogen vehicles become a reality it would eliminate the need for fossil fuels entirely.

• Platinum must be soaked in gasoline during fuel cell production to protect it from external contaminants.

What energy conversion occurs in fuel cells.

• Chemical energy → Thermal energy → Kinetic energy → Electrical Energy

• Chemical energy → Electrical Energy

What do fuel cells emit?
