D amino acids

Verified Answer :

Bis the Answer catalytic converter

Answer:

b.catalytic converter is correct option.

Explanation:

  • Heterogeneous catalysts: In this catalyst phase is different from the phase of the reactants. In heterogeneous catalysis, reactants are in the gas phase and solid phase catalysts are involved.
  • The catalytic converter is a example of heterogeneous catalysts,In which palladium, rhodium are used as hetrogenous catalysts.
  • The catalytic converter is used to decrease the toxic gases with the process of a redox reaction.
  • The catalytic converter uses a catalyst to carry the reaction. The catalytic converter used in gasoline is the example of heterogeneous catalysis.
  • catalytic converter by oxidation process converts the carbon monoxide gas into carbon dioxide.
