Nitrogen monoxide, NO, is a primary pollutant formed by petrol engines and present in their exhaust gases. Which reaction takes place in a catalytic converter and reduces the amount of nitrogen monoxide released?
- A$\text{NO}(g) + \text{CO}(g) \rightarrow \text{NO}_2(g) + \text{C}(s)$
- B$\text{NO}(g) + \text{CO}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{NO}_2(g) + \text{CO}(g)$
- C$2\text{NO}(g) + 2\text{CO}(g) \rightarrow \text{N}_2(g) + 2\text{CO}_2(g)$
- D$2\text{NO}(g) + \text{CO}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{NO}_2(g) + \text{C}(s)$
