Consider a $70 \%$ efficient hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell working under standard conditions at $1 \ bar$ and $298 \ K$. Its cell reaction is
$H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow H_2O(\ell)$
The work derived from the cell on the consumption of $1.0 \times 10^{-3} \ mol$ of $H_{2(g)}$ is used to compress $1.00 \ mol$ of a monoatomic ideal gas in a thermally insulated container. What is the change in the temperature (in $K$) of the ideal gas?
The standard reduction potentials for the two half-cells are given below.
