Which statement concerning fuel cell technology is correct?
A) Hydrogen produces hydrochloric acid when burned.
B) The only byproduct of a fuel cell vehicle is water.
C) Fuel cell technology is ready to be deployed in a large scale.
D) Fuel cell technology is based on running hydrogen through a catalyst where an electron is added.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fuel cells produce electricity through the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, and the only byproduct of this process is water. Choices A and C are incorrect, as hydrogen does not produce hydrochloric acid when burned and fuel cell technology is still in the early stages of development and not yet ready for large-scale deployment. Choice D is partially correct, as fuel cell technology does involve a catalyst and the addition of an electron, but it is not limited to just hydrogen as a fuel source.
