Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- Motor vehicles equipped with catalytic converter should use unleaded petrol because lead in the petrol inactivates the catalyst.
- Lead deposits on the converter and causes the poisoning of the catalyst. This renders the catalyst worthless.
- Catalysts such as palladium, rhodium, and platinum are used in converters to convert harmful pollutants such as nitric oxide, CO and unburnt hydrocarbons into the pollutants that are less harmful like nitrogen (N2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) respectively.
