Question

Using this platinum catalyst, you want to create a catalytic system for an automobile so it can handle the following requirements:

When accelerating, the automobile engine produces 1.60 × 102 L/s of exhaust gases. CO is present at about 1.2 mg CO per L exhaust before passing through your catalyst matrix. You want the catalytic converter to convert all of the CO(g) to CO2(g) before passing it through the rest of the exhaust system.

How many g of CO will pass through your catalytic matrix per minute?
