What is the purpose of a catalytic converter?
The purpose of a catalytic converter.
Answer to Problem 10RQ
The catalytic converter is a control device to check and decrease the percentage of toxic exhaust emissions through the engines.
Explanation of Solution
The catalytic converter is a device fixed in cars or engines which is used to convert the toxic and harmful gases, for example, nitrogen oxide
The catalytic converter reduces the unwanted release of gases from the engines and in turn reduces the environmental pollution. The main aim of this converter is to reduce the emission of these toxic gases and thus it acts as an exhaustive gas emission control device.
Conclusion:
Therefore, a catalytic converter is a control device that is used to check and decrease the quantity of toxic gases or exhaust emissions through the engines.
