Electrolysis Chemical Reactions Caused by Electron Flow

Fuel cells deliver as much power as batteries weighing ten times as much. On a typical seven-day mission, the space shuttle fuel cells consumed 1500 pounds of hydrogen and generated 190 gallons of water. [Pg.215]

Fuel cell technology applied to cars is currently an area of much interest. The oxygen for such a cell would come from the air, but a car which had to store and transport the hydrogen needed to operate the fuel cell would be problematic due to the explosive nature of hydrogen gas and the technological problems of storing such a light gas. Such cars have been shown to be possible, but probably not practical. [Pg.215]

Fuel cells that do not depend on hydrocarbon-based fuels for the generation of hydrogen are far too costly at present to be practical, and there are still many technological problems to overcome before we see hydrogen-fueled cars lined up in the parking lots of local schools waiting to pick up children.

The metal in some ores is so resistant to reduction that few reducing agents are strong enough to cause the reaction, and electrolysis is a good [Pg.215]
