Problem 14.1

An automotive fuel injector dispenses a fine spray of gasoline into the automobile cylinder, as shown in the bottom drawing here. When an injector gets clogged, as shown in the top drawing, the spray is not as fine or even and the performance of the car declines. How is this observation related to chemical kinetics? [Section 14.1]

                                                             Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 2

An injector of automotive fuel that enables perfect flow of gasoline into the engine of the car. If the injector is clogged, the fuel flow isn't as good as before and the car's performance also declines.

There is a need for reactants and reaction devices where the reaction will take place with a chemical reaction to occur.

The rate of any chemical reaction depends on the following factors.

     *  Physical state of the reactants

     *  concentration of reactants

     *  Reaction temperature

     *  Catalyst.
