    1. Calculate the mass and thickness of an aluminum oxide layer formed by anodizing an aluminum sheet at 1 A for 60 min, and use this to determine Faradic efficiency based on an experimentally measured thickness. 2. Calculate the energy demand to produce 1 m3 of hydrogen from water decomposition using the standard voltage, and compare this to the manufacturer's stated energy demand to calculate overvoltage. 3. Write the anode, cathode, and overall reactions for a fuel cell that oxidizes carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide using oxygen, and calculate the cell potential based on standard Gibbs free energies of formation.

    1. An aluminum sheet with a surface area A= 10 cm2 is anodized in diluted sulfuric acid at
    a constant current of I = 1 A for 60 min.
    a. Calciulate the aluminium oxide surface layer mass and thickness after 60 min of
    anodizing. The density of the aluminum oxide is 3,95 g/cm3.
    b. The experimentally found layer thickness was only 10 µm. Calculate the Faradic
    efficiency.
    2. The decomposition voltage of Water (25 °C) is 1,229 V.
    a. Calculate the energy demand for the production of 1 m3 of hydrogen.
    3. The manufacturer of an Electrolyser states, that the energy demand for the production
    of Hydrogen is 5,2 kWh/m3
    a. Calculate the overvoltage.

    4. With an appropriate catalyst, a fuel cell can be used to remove toxic carbon monoxide
    CO from exhaust gases, e.g. from a home wood fire, and provide electrical energy. The
    carbon monoxide is oxidized to form carbon dioxide CO2 at the anode, whereas the
    oxidant is oxygen O2.

    a) Set up the anode and cathode reaction equations, and the reaction equation for the
    overall process.

    b) Calculate the cell potential, based on the Gibbs free enthalpies of formation
    (standard conditions) listed below.
