Consider a $70\%$ efficient hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell working under standard conditions at $1$ bar and $298 \mathrm{K}$. Its cell reaction is

${\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+\frac{1}{2}{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\to {\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)$

The work derived from the cell on the consumption of $1.0\times {10}^{-3 }\mathrm{mol}$ of ${\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)$ is used to compress $1.00 \mathrm{mol}$ of a monoatomic ideal gas in a thermally insulated container. What is the change in the temperature (in $\mathrm{K}$ ) of the ideal gas?

The standard reduction potentials for the two half-cells are given below.

${\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+4{\mathrm{H}}^{+}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+4{\mathrm{e}}^{-}\to 2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right), {\mathrm{E}}^0=1.23 \mathrm{V}$,

$2{\mathrm{H}}^{+}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+2{\mathrm{e}}^{-}\to {\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right), {\mathrm{E}}^0=0.00 \mathrm{V}$

Use $\mathrm{F}=96500 \mathrm{C} {\mathrm{mol}}^{-1},\mathrm{R}=8.314 \mathrm{J} {\mathrm{mol}}^{-1}{\mathrm{K}}^{-1}$.
