Oxygen is available in plenty in air yet fuels do not burn by themselves at room temperature. Explain.

Options

  1. AFuels require a catalyst to initiate combustion.
  2. BOxygen in air is not pure enough to support combustion.
  3. CThe presence of nitrogen in air suppresses combustion.
  4. DThe activation energy for combustion reactions of fuels is very high at room temperature therefore they do not

Correct answer

D. The activation energy for combustion reactions of fuels is very high at room temperature therefore they do not

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (D) The activation energy for combustion reactions of fuels is very high at room temperature therefore they do not burn by themselves.
