- ACarbon dioxide
- BCarbon monoxide
- CMarsh gas
- DNitrogen oxide
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: (a) Carbon dioxide or (b) Carbon monoxide or (d) Nitrogen oxide
Explanation
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide (from incomplete burning) and oxides of nitrogen, along with unburnt hydrocarbons, sulphur dioxide and particulates.
So more than one option is correct: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. Marsh gas (methane) is not a typical exhaust gas.
