In a fuel cell, methanol is used as a fuel and oxygen gas is used as an oxidizer. The reaction is CH3OH(l)+32O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(l).

At 298 K, the standard Gibbs energies of the formation for CH3OH(l), H2O(l) and CO2(g) are -166.2,-237.2 and -394.4 kJ mol-1, respectively. If the standard enthalpy of combustion of methanol is -726 kJ mol-1, the efficiency of the fuel cell will be:
