A fuel cell contains hydrogen and oxygen gas.The gases react explosively and the energy converts water to steam.The steam drives a turbine which turns a generator to produce electricity.What are the initial and final forms of energy?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The initial energy in the fuel cell is chemical energy stored in the hydrogen and oxygen gas. The final form of energy is electrical energy produced by the generator. Therefore, the correct choice is C (chemical energy and electrical energy). The other options (A, B, D, and E) are incorrect because they either do not match the initial and final forms of energy or involve different forms of energy (such as nuclear energy).
