An aluminium-air cell produces a voltage from this reaction. Air enters the cell continuously. 4Al+3O2+6H2O→4Al(OH)3\mathrm{4Al + 3O_{2} + 6H_{2}O \rightarrow 4Al(OH)_{3}}4Al+3O2+6H2O→4Al(OH)3
Which statement is correct?
Aluminium atoms lose electrons; the cell stops when the aluminium is used up
Oxygen molecules lose electrons; the cell stops when the oxygen is used up
Aluminium atoms gain electrons; the cell stops when the aluminium is used up
Aluminium atoms lose electrons; the cell runs for as long as air is supplied
