NEETChemistryHydrogen
How can the formation of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) be minimized during the combustion of dihydrogen?
Options
- ABy increasing the combustion temperature
- BBy injecting a small amount of water into the cylinder
- CBy using a higher concentration of dinitrogen as an impurity
- DBy reducing the oxygen concentration in the air
Correct answer
B. By injecting a small amount of water into the cylinder
Step-by-step solution
The formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) during the combustion of dihydrogen can be minimized by injecting a small amount of water into the cylinder to lower the temperature and prevent the reaction between dinitrogen and dioxygen.
