475. In a typical fuel cell, the reactants (R) and
material? (Atomic weight: W = 184)
product (P) are :-
(1) 6 (2) 2
(1) R=H2(g), O2(g); P = H2O2(l)
(3) 4 (4) 1
(2) R = H2(g), O2(g); P = H2O(l)
462. Same as Repeated Q. No. 386 (3) R = H2(g), O2(g), Cl2(g);
P = ClO4(aq)
463. Same as Repeated Q. No. 387 (4) R = H2(g), N2(g); P = NH3(aq)

464. Same as Repeated Q. No. 388
