What else can I help you with?
How does a catalytic converter removes carbon monoxide from car fumes?
It does not remove carbon monoxide.
Where does the oxygen come from that combines with carbon monoxide in the catalytic converter?
Incomplete Combustion
What emissions gases is converter with in the catalytic converter?
HC hydrocarbons CO carbon monoxide NOx oxides of nitrogen
What reaction is catalysed by a catalytic converter?
Oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. Reduction of nitrogen monoxide back to nitrogen. Oxidation of hydrocarbons to water and carbon dioxide.
When a catalytic converter removes carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides from exhaust fumes what does it turn them into?
Carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
The function of a catalytic converter is to?
Convert unburnt fuel, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides into nitrogen, water, and carbon dioxide.
What gasses does a 3 way catalytic converter treat?
carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen
How is carbon monoxide and nitrogen are removed in a catalytic converter?
They are not removed. They are converted from CO and NOx to CO2 and N2.
What is a balanced chemical equation for how a catalytic converter works?
In a catalytic converter, carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) react with oxygen (O2) to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This process is shown by the balanced chemical equation: 2CO + 2HC + O2 -> 2CO2 + H2O
What kind of gas do cars produce?
Cars produce a kind of poisonous gas known as carbon monoxide but if you have a catalytic converter it converts the carbon monoxide into harmless gas known as carbon dioxide
What is used to remove carbon monoxide?
To remove carbon monoxide, a carbon filter or a catalytic converter can be used in a ventilation system. These devices help to trap and convert the carbon monoxide into less harmful compounds before releasing the air back into the environment.
What is purpose of catalytic converter for cars?
It stops the car from emitting harmful gasses by the following reactions: Carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide into carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas Unburnt hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water
