Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An electrochemical NO analyzer consists of three electrodes immersed in an electrolyte solution that contains a highly conductive concentrated acid or alkali solution. The electrodes are sepa-rated from the gas sample to be analyzed by a semipermeable membrane. NO and NO2, from the unknown gas sample, diffuse across a semipermeable membrane and react with the electrolyte solution near the sensing electrode. This generates electrons in the oxidation reaction: NO + 2H2O  HNO3 + 3H+ + 3e.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The accuracy of NO/NO2 electrochemical monitors can be altered by the presence of background gasessuch as CO2, CO, and NH2that have lower oxidation potentials than the sensor poten-tial.
