Question

Car Fuels
Hydrogen Fuel Traditional Gasoline Fuel
-Produced through electrolysis (splitting of water) and other methods
-Made at home or in commercial refineries
-Does not produce carbon dioxide -Produced from oil
-Made in large refineries
-Produces carbon dioxide

Hydrogen fuel is an alternative fuel to traditional gasoline. Hydrogen fuel cells can be two to three times more efficient than standard gasoline powered combustion engines. Which statement best compares hydrogen fuel to traditional gasoline?
Responses
A Hydrogen fuel produces large amounts of carbon dioxide, while traditional gasoline produces only small amounts of carbon dioxide.Hydrogen fuel produces large amounts of carbon dioxide, while traditional gasoline produces only small amounts of carbon dioxide.
B Hydrogen fuel is produced from a material that forms over millions of years, while traditional gasoline is produced from a material that is inexhaustible.Hydrogen fuel is produced from a material that forms over millions of years, while traditional gasoline is produced from a material that is inexhaustible.
C Hydrogen fuel is produced from a material that is inexhaustible, while traditional gasoline is produced from a material that forms over millions of years.Hydrogen fuel is produced from a material that is inexhaustible, while traditional gasoline is produced from a material that forms over millions of years.
D Hydrogen fuel produces small amounts of hydrogen gas, while traditional gasoline produces large amounts of hydrogen gas.Hydrogen fuel produces small amounts of hydrogen gas, while traditional gasoline produces large amounts of hydrogen gas.

Answer 1

The best statement that compares hydrogen fuel to traditional gasoline based on the given chart is:

C: Hydrogen fuel is produced from a material that is inexhaustible, while traditional gasoline is produced from a material that forms over millions of years.

This is accurate because hydrogen can be produced from water and other methods, making it more sustainable, while traditional gasoline comes from fossil fuels that take millions of years to form.
