Question 2

[Maximum number: 1]

Which statement about fuels is correct?

A

Question 3

[Maximum number: 1]

Which equation represents a reaction that takes place in a fuel cell?

A

C+O2→CO2\mathrm{C}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}

B

2H2+O2→2H2O2 \mathrm{H}_{2}+\mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}

C

CH4+2O2→CO2+2H2O\mathrm{CH}_{4}+2 \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}

D

C3H8+5O2→3CO2+4H2O\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8}+5 \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{CO}_{2}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}
