Methanol fuel cells depend on the following reaction.How many electrons are transferred in this redox reaction per mole of methanol consumed? 2 CH₃OH( )+ 3 O₂(g)$\to$ 2 CO₂(g)+ 3 H₂O( )

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the given chemical equation, each molecule of methanol (CH3OH) loses 6 electrons to form 2 CO2 molecules and 4 H+ ions. Therefore, per mole of methanol consumed, 6 electrons are transferred in the redox reaction. Hence, the correct answer is B) 6.
