The answer would be 20% (B)
Answer:
The statement that best describes the use of catalytic converters in automobiles is;
They oxidize hydrocarbons to form less toxic gases
Explanation:
Catalytic converters
A working engine produces some air pollutants which are made due to fuel not completely burnt in the engine, including unburnt gasoline (a hydrocarbon), nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide is poisonous to breathe in if present in the air around us, and nitrogen oxides causes acid rain and smog, while hydrocarbon from the gasoline causes smog
The catalyst in the catalytic converters aids in the conversion of the harmful gases produced by the car engine into harmless gases such as the types of gases already existing in the atmosphere and therefore, can be released into the air
The catalysts in the catalytic converter work by either oxidizing some of the harmful gases such as the unburnt hydrocarbons, or by reducing the other harmful gases such as the nitrogen oxides.
Therefore, the statement that best describes the use of catalytic converters in automobiles is that they oxidize hydrocarbons to form less toxic gases
If the heat is absorbed, then the temperature will increase as well.
To answer this question, you need to know the chemical equation for making glucose. It should be look like this
C6H12O6<span>(s) + 6O2(g) -->6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
In the equation, the amount of glucose (</span>C6H12O6) is 1 and the amount of oxygen(O2) is 6. But the equation ratio is using moles as a unit. A mole of glucose will weight 180g but a mole of oxygen weight 32g.
Then, the amount of oxygen forms would be: 6/1 * (15.90g/180g) * 32g= 16.96 grams
