Which of the following is not true? O Catalytic converters facilitate both oxidation and reduction reactions simultaneously. O Carbon-based compounds (usually CO and hydrocarbons) are reduced in a catalytic converter to yield CO2 and H20. Reduction of the nitrogen in NO (to yield N2 and O2) is energetically favorable, but because the activation energy is high, the reaction must either be catalyzed or done at high temperatures to proceed at an appreciable rate. Catalytic converters that reduce the nitrogen in NO can also reduce the sulfur in SO2, resulting in production of the toxic gas H2S when sulfur is present in the fuel. CO and other incompletely oxidized forms of carbon are produced in greater quantities when gasoline is combusted with inadequate oxygen present.
