of a fuel cell based on the oxidation of methanol
in air that has been used to power television relay station is measured as 1.21 V . The standard half cell reduction potential for 
is 1.229 V .
Choose the correct statement:
A
The standard half cell reduction potential for the reduction of 
is 19 mV
is 19 mV B
