What does nox and sox mean?
NOx and SOx are the terms used to indicate the general oxides of nitrogen (NO, NO2, N2O2, etc.) and the general oxides of sulfur (SO2, SO3, etc.) when discussing air pollution, rather than specify any one of the family or list them all.
Chemical weathering by water?
Oxidation (The bonding of oxygen to iron in the presence of water) Carbonation (Water + Carbon dioxide --> Carbonic acid) Acid Rain (SO2 or NOx + Water --> Acid Rain) All of the above will cause chemical weathering
What does NOx and SO2 do to the environment?
It can combine with the air and make acid rain.
Describe three ways that oxygen is removed from the atmosphere and used?
Gases are removed from the atmosphere by several rocesses:* Chemical combination with other materials VOCs and NOx combine with each other to produce ozone. Some gases combine with iron, limestone, clayey soils to form other compounds* Respiration Plants and animals remove oxygen from air to maintain life processes* Photosyntheis Plants absorb carbon dioxide to recover carbon for their tissues* Scrubbing by precipitation NOx ,SOx and other compoundsa are washe dout of the air by rain, snow and cloud formation.* Dissolving into water Gases passing over water, like carbob doxide willabsorb into the water
What chemicals make up acid rain?
Although rain is slightly acidic naturally from carbon dioxide exposure, acid rain (the very low pH rain) is associated with sulphur and nitrogen oxides dissolving in the rain.
What does the root nox mean?
The root word nox- means night. One example of this is equinox.
What is NOx?
NOx is shorthand for "oxides of nitrogen", which are largely byproducts of infernal combustion. Inclusive of NO2, N2O, N2O5 and more. Naturally occurring NOx compounds are made high in the atmosphere, in the ozone layer (lower stratosphere), too. Whether or not they remain stable or decay to nitrogen, oxygen and/or ozone depends on how much water vapor is present there. Typically, NOx made up here does also not survive to reach the troposphere, since it is very chemically reactive (much like ozone). At the surface NOx is a product of combustion and can be emitted from internal combustion engines, furnace, boilers and heaters.
What is the role of NOx in ozone depletion?
NOx is the byproduct of water vapor blocking one path of ozone production. An oxygen atom is temporarily stored in an unstable state on a nitrogen molecule (N2O*). Encountering a water molecule stabilizes the NOx. NOx does not itself decay ozone, but acts as a "getter" for water vapor (further protecting ozone). NOx is like the dead body for a stillborn ozone molecule.
What does nox mean you are Tagalog?
In Tagalog, "nox" is not a recognized word. It may be a misspelling or a word from another language.
What are the three products of respiration?
Gases(co2, Nox etc), water and heat
What are three products of respireation?
Gases(co2, Nox etc), water and heat
What the three products of respiration?
Gases(co2, Nox etc), water and heat
When creating acid rain with what do Sox and Nox mix while in the clouds?
Water vapour.
When was Polypoetes nox created?
Polypoetes nox was created in 1909.
When was Bona nox created?
Bona nox was created in 1788.
How tall is Kara Nox?
Kara Nox is 5' 4".
What is the meaning of sox and nox in boiler?
SOx ana nox
