∙ 8y agoNitrogen is 80% of the earth's atmosphere. It permits algae growth in the oceans and lakes which covers the top layer of the lakes and oceans.
Nitrogen when reacted with oxygen produces nitric oxide which when it comes into contect with water produces nitric acid which is responsible for some forms of pollution.

What 2 pollutants react with water to produce acid rain?
sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides
Is nitrogen oxides bad to the environment?
Yes it is bad for the environment. This is what happens:Helps form acid rainIt contributes to global warmingIt hampers the growth of plantsNOx can form with other pollutants to form toxic chemicalsSave
What is the symbol for nitrogen oxides?
Generally used: NOx
What nitrogen oxides have the same empirical formula?
NO2 and N2O4
How does oxides of nitrogen come into the atmosphere?
N+O = No2
How do nitrogen oxides affect the environment?
NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) impacts the environment in several ways. It contributes to smog, acid rain, global warming, and visibility impairment.
How is nitrogen oxide bad for the environment?
Oxides of nitrogen forms acids when reacted with water. Therefor they cause acid rains.
What are the mixtures in the environment?
The mixtures include mainly:Oxygennitrogencarbon dioxidewater vaporsome air pollutants (as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, vehicle smokes, ... etc)
What is the formation of oxides of nitrogen and eventually nitrates as nitrogen fixing?
Reactions for the formation of oxides of nitrogen and nitrates as nitrogen fixing
What is the environmental effect caused by oxides of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide?
Nitrogen and sulphur oxides are poisonous gases which are released from vehicles and industries. They are poisonous and cause breathing problems and other respiratory problems. Not only this, these gases are most commonly referred air pollutants. Nitrogen oxides are among the few ozone depletors.
HOW does lightning effect the environment?
lightning does have an effect on the environment it can put nitrogen in the ground for plants to use
Why does acid rain produced in the UK?
It is produced because of operating fossil fueled power plants that emit carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur oxides. These oxides when get reacted with water vapor in the environment they are converted into acids that fall down with rain.
What effect does lightning have on atmospheric nitrogen?
Lightning causes N2 to form oxides. NO2, NO3 is made in this process.
What gases react to make nitrogen oxides?
Nitrogen and oxygen.
How are factory's bad for the environment water pollutionair pollution?
factories are bad for the environment because of the gases they release- nitrogen oxides and sulpher dioxide. (sulpher dioxide causes acid rain)
What is the environmental effect of nitrogen oxide?
Nitrogen oxides primary role in pollution is the in the formation of photochemical smog in the presence of hydrocarbons and ultraviolet light. there is some smaller impact on acid rain.
What is the term for damaging precipitation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen?
Acid rain is the term for damaging preciptation caused by oxides of sulfur and nitrogen.
