E. is actually a type of Galvanic cell only
A
A,B,C only
B
A,B,D only
C
A,B,D,E only
D
A,D,E only
Answer
A,D,E only
Explanation
Solution
A fuel cell, specifically using hydrogen and oxygen, has found applications in spaceships due to its capability to provide electricity in a lightweight, efficient form. It does not use aluminum as a catalyst but rather commonly uses platinum or other noble metals. Fuel cells operate in an eco-friendly manner, emitting only water as a by-product. Furthermore, they can be categorized as galvanic cells since they convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy.
