amt general comp 11: question 32 of 60
tetraethyl lead is added to aviation gasoline to
a retard the formation of corrosives.
b improve the gasolines performance in the engine.
c dissolve the moisture in the gasoline.

Explanation:

Tetraethyl lead is an antiknock agent. Its main function is to improve the gasoline's performance in the engine by preventing knocking (unwanted premature ignition) which can damage the engine. It has nothing to do with retarding corrosive formation (corrosion inhibitors are for that) or dissolving moisture (driers are for that).

Answer:

B. improve the gasoline's performance in the engine.
