The standard cell potential $(E_{\text{cell}}^{\ominus})$ 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 $O_2$ $(E_{O_2 / H_2 O}^0)$ is $1.229 \ V$. Choose the correct statement:
- AThe standard half-cell reduction potential for the reduction of $CO_2$ $(E_{CO_2 / CH_3OH}^0)$ is $19 \ mV$
- BOxygen is formed at the anode.
- CReactants are fed at one go to each electrode.
- DReduction of methanol takes place at the cathode.
