Answer ( Option C)

Gasohol

Solution

The mixture of petrol and ethanol to reduce the emission of carbon monoxide is known as Gasohol.
Gasohol:
  • Gasohol is a blend of gasoline and ethanol. Ethanol is a type of alcohol that is made from corn or sugarcane.
  • Gasohol is typically a blend of 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline. However, there are also gasohol blends that contain up to 85% ethanol.
  • Gasohol is blended with gasoline to reduce the emission of carbon monoxide.
  • Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is produced when gasoline is burned.
  • It is a major contributor to smog and can be harmful to human health.
  • Gasohol reduces the emission of carbon monoxide because ethanol burns more cleanly than gasoline.
  • Gasohol is also blended with gasoline to improve the octane rating of gasoline.
  • Octane rating is a measure of how resistant gasoline is to knocking. Knocking is a type of engine misfire that can damage the engine.
  • Gasohol has a higher octane rating than gasoline, so it can help to prevent knocking.
  • Gasohol is used in many countries around the world.
    It is particularly popular in Brazil, where it is used in over 90% of the gasoline that is sold.
  • Gasohol is also used in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
