How can the formation of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) be minimized during the combustion of dihydrogen?

Options

  1. ABy increasing the combustion temperature
  2. BBy injecting a small amount of water into the cylinder
  3. CBy using a higher concentration of dinitrogen as an impurity
  4. 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.
