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 emissions gases is converter with in the catalytic converter?
HC hydrocarbons CO carbon monoxide NOx oxides of nitrogen
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 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.
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 catalytic convertor?
A catalytic converter are used to reduce car pollution in many countries. They simply turn nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide to nitrogen,carbon dioxide and water vapous (H2O)
What does cc in vehicles specify?
Catalytic converter: (Part of exhaust system that reduces Carbon Monoxide, Hydrocarbons and Oxides of Nitrogen.)
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
What role does platinum play in a catalytic converter?
Platinum in a catalytic converter acts as a catalyst, helping to convert harmful gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons into less harmful substances like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor through chemical reactions.
Catalytic converters change nitrogen monoxide into which two gases?
Nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
