I attempted to make a fuel cell by taking 30ml of 28% NaCl sol and 10ml of methanol and a tiny amont of CoSO4 than I ad a two carbon rod wich was
conected to a voltmeter.
Without oxygen te voltmeter was at 0.7V and only a tiny amont of bubble was produce , I lets the cell run for 48 hour and at this point a hypochlorite
smell was produce.
The question: What was the reaction inside the cell?
Idee:
the cell was making:
CH2O
HCOOH
NaClO
NaClO3
