A computer model is used to study an acidic hydrogen fuel cell. During one interval, 3.0 × 1020 hydrogen molecules react at the hydrogen electrode.
The half equation at the oxygen electrode is:
O2+4H++4e−→2H2O\text{O}_2 + 4\text{H}^+ + 4\text{e}^- \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O}O2+4H++4e−→2H2O
Calculate the number of electrons released at the hydrogen electrode during this interval.
Calculate the number of oxygen molecules that react during this interval.
