Q.

In a fuel cell, methanol is used as fuel and oxygen gas is used as an oxidizer. The reaction is:

CH3OH(l)+32O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(l)

At 298 K standard Gibbs energies of formation for CH2OH(l),H2O(l) and CO2(g) are -166.2, -237 .2 and -394.4 kJ mol-1 respectively. If standard enthalpy of combustion of methanol is - 726 kJ mol-1, efficiency of the fuel cell will be :
