In a polymer electrolyte membrane at low humidity, which outcome is most likely?

💡 Explanation

Dehydration reduces proton transport because the Grotthuss Mechanism relies on water molecules to hop hydrogen ions; therefore conductivity drops, rather than enhanced catalyst activity because reactants are impacted by membrane conditions.
