Most fuel cells in the world today run on hydrogen. However, as the fuel gets more complex, this oxidation process becomes vastly more complicated. Once carbon atoms are in the fuel, carbon monoxide poisoning of typical fuel cell catalysts becomes problematic.
Bromine dissociates in water in the same manner as chlorine, by forming hypobromous acid and the hypobromite ion. Hypobromous acid is a weak acid that partially dissociates to form a hydrogen ion and a hypobromite ion.
Overview. Chlorine is a chemical that prevents bacterial growth in stationary water. Itâs used to sanitize sewage and industrial waste. Itâs also an active ingredient in several cleaning products. Chlorine poisoning can occur when you swallow or inhale chlorine.
