Question 10
F

A scientist measured the voltage produced by four fuel cells. Each fuel cell used a different fuel. The figure shows the scientist's results.

Figure: The voltage produced by four fuel cells, each of which used a different fuel

A squared-paper bar chart compares the voltages in V produced by hydrogen, methanol, ammonia and hydrazine fuel cells.

a.

Give the fuel that produced the largest voltage.

[1]
b.

Determine the difference between the largest voltage and the smallest voltage shown in the figure.

[2]
c.

The hydrazine fuel cell produces nitrogen as well as water. The hydrogen fuel cell produces only water.

Explain one reason why a car maker might choose a hydrogen fuel cell rather than a hydrazine fuel cell, even though the hydrazine fuel cell produces a larger voltage.
