What is produced when petrol is burnt?
Oxides of Sulphur and Nitrogen.....i guess and maybe Carbon monoxide....
What are the products when petrol is completely burnt?
water, carbon dioxide, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, a small residue of incombustible material
Why are lead compounds added to petrol and how it is harmful?
lead compounds are harmful if added to petrol as it cause cancer, poison the catalytic converter (use to convert harmful gases into less harmful gases/harmless, emmision of greenhouse gases and increase the amount of oxides of nitrogen which results in acid rain.
Is burning petrol in a car engine exothermic?
Yes, energy is lost to the environment
When burning petrol in vehicles two gases form which contribute to acid rain. what are the two gases?
These gases are sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.
How nitrogen oxides are produced in petrol engine?
There are N in fuel. In very high heat N is oxidized into its maximum

A fuel contains no nitrogen but nitrogen oxides are produced when it is burned why?
Nitrous oxide (N2O), a dangerous greenhouse gas, is one of the by-products of burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), especially petrol in the internal combustion engine (The other by-products are carbon dioxide and methane). Nitrous oxide is produced at high temperatures, so car manufacturers are trialling methods of recycling the exhaust gases through the engine. This lowers the combustion temperature and less N2O is produced.
When gasoline is burned in an engine gasoline evaporated?
No - petrol combustion is a rapid oxidisation which is an exothermal reaction... it creates heat, and heated air expands. The fuel (petrol) is made of a composition mostly comprising hydrogens, carbons, a little sulphur and nitrogen. Air contains mostly nitrogen, and about 1/5th of air is oxygen capable of causing oxidation in the right circumstance. The gasoline/petrol fuel is changed in this chemical reaction, broken into component parts and reforms as Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, oxides of sulphur, oxides of nitrogen and a fair bit of oxides of hydrogen... or water vapour (the only non-nasty part of the exhaust) although this water is superheated steam at that point. A poorly tuned petrol engine will also spit out unburned petrol as a vapour only where not enough oxygen was present at ignition. That is the only part of petrol that evaporates and only when it is not working right.

What are the products when petrol is completely burnt?
water, carbon dioxide, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, a small residue of incombustible material
What are the products formed when fuel such as petrol burns completely?
Mainly Water (H2O), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), but mainly the first two. And if the petrol is broken down incompletely (without oxygen) Carbon Monoxide (CO) is produced instead of CO2.A:Carbon dioxide and water (mainly) but in case of incomplete combustion carbon monoxide and carbon (soot) too. The pollutants produced by petrol combustion are mainly nitrogen oxides and unburnt petrol.
Why is sulfur dioxide produced in a petrol engine?
because when petrol burns it produces sulfur dioxide
Why does your car have bad gas fumes?
it has fumes because when you drive your car is burning the petrol/diesel you fill up with which results in it producing nitrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides.
What Four main gases are from a petrol engine?
carbon dioxide nitrogen argen oxygen
What kinds of air pollution are caused by vehicles?
There are three main kinds of pollution. One is polluting gases produced by the combustion of petrol. These include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and various oxides of nitrogen. Next, there are small particles produced by unburned (or partially burned) compounds in the petrol. And then there are other particulate pollutants such as particles from brake linings, rubber deposits from tyres which are left on the road (obvious when you see skid marks).
How is nitrogen oxide formed from burning petrol?
Nitrogen is formed by giving off petrol
