Consider the following statements pertaining to fuel cells :-
$(a)$ Hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells make use of concentrated $KOH$ solution as an electrolyte and porous graphite impregnated with platinum as electrodes.
$(b)$ The efficiency of a fuel cell is less than unity due to polarization at electrodes and the resistance offered by the electrode and the electrolyte.
$(c)$ The electrical work,assuming the cell to be working reversibly,may be represented as $-\Delta G = W_{\text{electrical}} = -\Delta H + T\Delta S$.
Which of the above statements are correct?

Solutions $A$,$B$,and $C$ of the same strong electrolyte offered resistances of $50 \ \Omega$,$100 \ \Omega$,and $150 \ \Omega$ in a given conductivity cell. The resistance observed if they are mixed in a volume proportion which is the reciprocal of their resistances and tested in the same conductivity cell would be ............. $\Omega$.

The rusting of iron takes place as follows. Calculate $\Delta G^o$ for the net process in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
$2H^{+} + 2e^- + \frac{1}{2}O_2 \longrightarrow H_2O_{(l)} ; E^o = +1.23 \ V$
$Fe^{2+} + 2e^- \longrightarrow Fe_{(s)} ; E^o = -0.44 \ V$

The process of rusting of iron occurs as follows:
$Fe \rightarrow Fe^{2+} + 2e^{-}, E^{o} = 0.44 \ V$
$2H^{+} + 2e^{-} + \frac{1}{2} O_2 \rightarrow H_2O_{(l)}, E^{o} = 1.23 \ V$
Then for this reaction,$\Delta G^{o} = .... \ kJ/mol$
