- Level
- A2
Understand how a catalytic converter decreases carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide emissions from internal combustion engines by: i adsorption of CO and NO molecules onto the surface of the catalyst, resulting in the weakening of bonds and chemical reaction ii desorption of CO2 and N2 product molecules from the surface of the catalyst.
Use —how a catalytic converter decreases carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide emissions from internal combustion engines by: i to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.
This matters because —how a catalytic converter decreases carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide emissions from internal combustion engines by: i determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.
Example: apply —how a catalytic converter decreases carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide emissions from internal combustion engines by: i to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.
Boundary: —How a catalytic converter decreases carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide emissions from internal combustion engines by: i is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
