Question 10 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

What is a benefit of fuel cell cars over standard cars?

Answer
A
Fuel consumption is reduced by 30–90 percent.
B
Hydrogen-powered cell vehicles are cheaper.
C
Hydrogen fuel is very safe and economical to store.
D
Gas stations can easily be converted into hydrogen filling stations.

Explanation

Fuel-cell cars use hydrogen to produce electricity, which powers an electric motor. This process can use fuel more efficiently than a standard gasoline engine, reducing fuel consumption by 30–90 percent. Hydrogen vehicles are not generally cheaper, and storing and distributing hydrogen safely requires specialized equipment, so the other choices are not benefits.
