17 When a hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell is in operation, a different reaction happens at each electrode.
The electrons that are lost at the hydrogen electrode travel through the external circuit to the
oxygen electrode, where they are gained by the oxygen and water.
A hydrogen–oxygen fuel cell is operated for a period of time and four moles of oxygen molecules
are consumed.
18 The oxides of two elements, X and Y, are separately dissolved in water and the pH of each
solution tested.
