Answer:
            Option-C (Carboxylic Acid)

Explanation:
                   Vinegar is a solution made up of 95 % water and 5 % Acetic Acid. The structure of Acetic Acid is shown below. Acetic acid belongs to a class of organic compounds called as Caboxylic Acids. The functional group of carboxylic acid contain a carbonyl group bonded to hydroxyl group and an alkyl group (highlighted red in structure).
                    Due to acid nature of this class it can donate the proton bonded to oxygen atom next to carbonyl group and resulting in the formation of resonance stabilized carboxylate ion.

Other examples of Carboxylic acids are,

HCOOH     Formic Acid

CH₃-COOH     Acetic Acid

CH₃-CH₂-COOH     Propionic Acid

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-COOH     Butanoic Acid

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-COOH     Pentanoic Acid

22. Which statement best describes the use of catalytic converters in automobiles?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

B. They oxidize hydrocarbons to form less toxic gases.

Explanation:

A catalytic converter can be defined as an anti-pollution device containing a catalyst like platinum-iridium, installed in the exhaust chamber of an automobile so as to chemically convert harmful (poisonous) pollutants such as unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (S02), nitrogen oxide (NO) etc., into less harmful, poisonous or toxic chemical compounds.

This ultimately implies that, catalytic converters are typically used for converting harmful gases into less harmful, poisonous or toxic gases and molecules e.g carbon dioxide (C02) and water (H2O). This helps to prevent global warming, enhance the conservation of natural resources, as well as preserve the lives of living organisms and their natural habitat.

<em>Hence, the statement which best describes the use of catalytic converters in automobiles is that they oxidize hydrocarbons to form less toxic gases.</em>
