Question

Methanol fuel cells depend on the following reaction. How many electrons are transferred in this redox reaction as written? 2CH₃OH + 3O₂ $\rightarrow$2CO₂ + 3H₂O

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the reaction, each methanol (CH3OH) molecule is oxidized to CO2, transferring 6 electrons per molecule. Since there are 2 methanol molecules, a total of 12 electrons are transferred.
