Question

A diesel car uses a catalytic converter that converts the CO emitted in the exhaust into CO2 by combusting the CO in air. Assume that this vehicle emits CO to the maximum possible limit allowed by the European regulatory standards. How many moles of oxygen will be required to completely convert all the CO emitted by this vehicle into CO2 if it runs for 5600 km? *

a) 50
b)100
c)1400
d) Not enough information available to calculate​

Answer 1

Explanation:

option c is the correct answer please mark me as brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

1400 is the correct answer

Concern about the automobile as a source of air pollution has been expressed periodically, but national concern was first evidenced in the 1960s when California established the first new car emission standards. The scientific basis of this effort is the pioneering atmospheric chemistry research of A.J.Haägen-Smit, who showed that photochemical reactions among hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NO x ) produce the many secondary pollutants that reduce visibility and cause eye and nose irritation in the Los Angeles area.

This paper reviews our current knowledge of automotive emissions, including standards, control technology, fuel economy, fuels and additives, in-use emissions, measurement methods for unregulated pollutants, and models for predicting future automotive emissions. Fuel economy is included because achieving high fuel economy and low emissions together makes the engineering effort more difficult. Emissions and fuel economy are interrelated because both are influenced by the engine combustion system design. In practice, the stringency of emission standards determines the importance of this interrelationship. After current knowledge in each area has been reviewed, important gaps in our knowledge are identified and research needed to fill these gaps is described.
