Question 9 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

Which of these is a direct benefit of using fuel cells in cars?

Answer
F
Fuel cells do not need an extra or rechargeable battery to operate the electronics.
F
Fuel cells use hydrogen gas, which can be safely stored in the car’s fuel tank.
F
Fuel cells use hydrogen gas, which is easily distributed throughout the country.
F
Fuel cells are inexpensive to construct and install in cars.

Explanation

A fuel cell generates electricity to power the car, so it can also supply the vehicle’s electrical systems without requiring a separate rechargeable battery to operate them. Hydrogen storage and distribution are challenges, and fuel cells are currently expensive to build and install, so B, C, and D are not direct benefits.
