    • fitting catalytic converyers to cars reduces air pollution (no burning of hydrocarbons)
    • platinum, palladium and rhodium are used as catalytic converters.
    • A hydrocarbon will burn incompletley in a low supply of oxygen to produce carbon and carbon monoxide

    • altering the air to fuel ratio in car engines reduces air pollution.
    • if water and carbon dioxide are produced when a substance burns, it must have contained carbon and hydrogen.
    • Hyrogen will burn completely in oxygen to produce H2O and CO2
    • small molecules: boil at lower tempretures, are more flammble than big molecules and are less viscous than big molecules.
  • if water and carbon dioxide are produced when a substance burns, it must have contained carbon and hydrogen.
  • Hyrogen will burn completely in oxygen to produce H2O and CO2
