Give the anodic,cathodic,and overall reactions of a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell.
(N/A) Anodic reaction: $2H_{2(g)} + 4OH^{-}_{(aq)} \rightarrow 4H_2O_{(l)} + 4e^-$
Cathodic reaction: $O_{2(g)} + 2H_2O_{(l)} + 4e^- \rightarrow 4OH^{-}_{(aq)}$
Overall reaction: $2H_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2H_2O_{(l)}$
Cathodic reaction: $O_{2(g)} + 2H_2O_{(l)} + 4e^- \rightarrow 4OH^{-}_{(aq)}$
Overall reaction: $2H_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2H_2O_{(l)}$
