Answer:

Oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbon

Explanation:

An automobile catalytic converter is a substance that catalyses redox reactions that convert toxic gases emanating from an automobile engine to less toxic gases.

The substance work by converting carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water and oxides of nitrogen to nitrogen and oxygen gas respectively.

<em>Hence, in order to check the effectiveness of a catalytic converter, unburned hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen are substances to watch out for in the car exhaust. None of these gases should be found in an exhaust with effective catalytic converter and vice versa. </em>

Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) (01.01 MC) Dominic and Eva are using the same type of stopwatches to measure the time
LekaFEV [45]
The results of Dominic and Eva's experiment is unreliable and can lead to a pseudoscientific claim primarily because they did not repeat their tests multiple times. Although, they used the same type of stopwatch in recording the time it takes for the chemical reaction to occur, they have different reactions times. Thus, it would have been better if they conducted several trials then obtained the average of their results.

If the half-life of Carbon-14 is 5700 years, how many years would it take a sample to decay from 1 gram to 31.3 mg
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

28500 years

Explanation:

Applying,

A = A'(2^{x/y})............... Equation 1

Where A = Original mass of Carbon-14, A' = Final mass of carbon-14 after decaying, x = total time, y = half-life.

From the question,

Given: A = 1 g, A' = 31.3 mg = 0.0313 g, y = 5700 years.

Substitute these values into equation 1

1 = 0.0313(2^{x/5700})

2^{x/5700} = 1/0.0313

2^{x/5700}  = 31.95

2^{x/5700} ≈ 32

2^{x/5700} ≈ 2⁵

Equating the base and solve for x

x/5700 ≈ 5

x ≈ 5×5700

x ≈ 28500 years
