Answer:- 952 cells are there in the stack.

Solution:- From given data, The stack of cells produces
2.20*10^8 W.

Each cell contribution is 231 kW.

Since, 1 kW = 1000 W

Let's convert kW to W and divide the total W of the stack by the W of single cell to get the number of cells as:


2.20*10^8W((1cell)/(231kW))((1kW)/(1000W))

= 952 cells

So, from the calculations it is clear that 952 cells are required in a stack to produce
2.20*10^8 W.
