Catalyst used in the catalytic converter employed in automobiles to convert CO into CO2 and for complete oxidation of un-burnt hydrocarbons is___________________?
Correct answer: A. Platinum
- A. Platinum
- B. Cobalt
- C. Vanadium
- D. Nickel
Explanation
Platinum is a highly active oxidation catalyst in automobile catalytic converters, promoting conversion of CO to CO₂ and oxidation of unburnt hydrocarbons. Modern converters often use platinum along with palladium and rhodium.
