Shown Below Are the Reactions Occurring in the Direct Methanol

question 36

Multiple Choice

Shown below are the reactions occurring in the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) . I.2 CH₃OH(aq) + 2 H₂O(l) → 2 CO₂(g) +12 H⁺(aq) +12 e^-
II.3 O₂(g) + 12 H⁺(aq) + 12 e^- → 6 H₂O(l)
Overall 2 CH₃OH(aq) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O(l)
Which is the anode reaction,and what is being oxidized in the overall reaction?

• A)I,CH₃OH
• B)I,H₂O
• C)II,O₂
• D)II,H⁺
