Question

For his truck, Joel purchases gasoline to which oxygen has not been added. What might be the result?
. A. The engine will produce more exhaust.
B. The fuel will not combust during compression.
C. The engine will be unable to compress the fuel.
D. The engine will use more fuel.

Answer 1

Answer: the engine will produce more exhaust

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

If gasoline is added to the engine that has not had oxygen added, it will produce more exhaust gases because complete combustion was not carried out.  Gasoline hydrocarbons decompose to react with oxygen. When there is excess oxygen, the oxidation is completed and stable products are formed which will be the components of the combustion gases. When there is little oxygen, the combustion gases contain partially oxidized compounds such as carbon monoxide, carbon particles, and hydrogen.

Have a nice day!
