Fuel Cell

Description: A fuel cell is made using two half cells. One of the half cells consists of oxygen gas bubbling into dilute acid (cathode), and the other consists of hydrogen gas bubbling into dilute base (anode). Platinum electrodes are used in each solution, and both half cells are connected with a salt bridge. A voltage is taken between the platinum electrodes.
