(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked in an interview for internship.

Enquiry is from Catalytic Converters topic in portion Engine Emissions and their Control of IC Engine

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(a) True

Catalytic converters are chambers that are mounted in the exhaust flow system of an engine. The exhaust gases pass through these converters where chemical reactions occur, reducing harmful emissions like carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) into less harmful substances such as carbon dioxide (CO2), water, and nitrogen.
