Best Answer

hydro electric power

Or, you can chemically combine hydrogen and oxygen in a hydrogen fuel cell to produce electricity, heat and water. This method has been used in short-term manned space flights since Apollo (the hydroelectric approach doesn't work well in space) and is being developed for large scale zero-emissions vehicle applications (the concept is proven but the fuel distribution infrastructure needs work).

How do you produce hydrogen in lab?

when metal reacts with an acid, or when electricity is used to separate water into hydrogen and water.


What are the two gases used to produce electricity in fuel cells?

The two gases used to produce electricity in fuel cells are hydrogen (H2) as the fuel and oxygen (O2) as the oxidant. In a fuel cell, hydrogen is fed to the anode (negative electrode) and oxygen is supplied to the cathode (positive electrode), where they react to produce water, heat, and electricity through an electrochemical process called the oxidation-reduction reaction.

What is the source of electricity on board the space shuttle?

The Space Shuttle uses fuel cells to produce electricity. The hydrogen (H2) is burned with the oxygen (O2) to produce clean water (H2O). The heat is used to produce the electricity. The fresh water is then used by the crew or transfered to the International Space Station for drinking and showering. The Apollo Service Modules used a similar system for power and water.


Which fuel causes minimum environmental pollution. A hydrogen B coal C diesel D kerosene?

hydrogenA2:Coal is the fuel that produces the least pollution among the choices. Hydrogen would be the least polluting except for the reality that hydrogen is produced by burning coal to produce electricity to electrolyse water. Only if the electricity used to produce the hydrogen were produced by hydro, wind or solar, would hydrogen be less polluting than coal.


What is coal used to produce?

Coal is used to produce heat and electricity.

No


What devise that use the chemical energy of hydrogen to produce electricity?

Generator that utilizes Hydrogen is called "Fuel Cell" it is an Electrochemical Energy Conversion Device that converts the chemicals Hydrogen and Oxygen into Water and during this process the Electricity is generated.


What can you use out of hydrogen?

We could use it to produce electricity but we don't. We do use it most commonly in fertiliser.
