What else can I help you with?
Is carbon in nitric acid?
No. Its' formula is HNO3. It has nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen in it.
Where does the acid come from in acid rain?
The acid in acid rain results from carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides dissolving in the water droplets. All rain is slightly acidic from the carbon dioxide content, but the industrial pollutants (sulfur and nitrogen oxides) lower the pH further.
Is nitrogen dioxide inorganic or organic?
Organic compounds contain carbon atoms. Nitric acid (HNO3) contains no such carbon atoms, so it is inorganic.
What is the reaction of carbon with hot nitric acid?
Carbon does not react with hot nitric acid due to its inert nature. The oxidation state of carbon in hydrocarbons is generally lower than its highest oxidation state (+4), which is needed for reaction with nitric acid. Thus, carbon remains unreactive towards hot nitric acid.
What is the word equation for nitrogen dioxide?
Nitric oxide + oxygen => Nitrogen Dioxide
What chemicals do rain mix with to become acidic?
if with nitrogen compounds, it becomes nitric acid if with sulfuric compounds, it becomes sulfuric acid if with phosphate compounds, it becomes phosphoric acid if with carbon dioxide, it becomes carbonic acid
Are nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide the same?
NO!!! Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a Brown Gas. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless gas. Each gas differs by one atom viz. nitrogen and / or carbon. However, they are both acidic gases. When dissolved in water they form nitric acid (HNO3) and carbonic acid (H2CO3).
What can make rain more acidic?
Rain can become more acidic due to pollutants in the atmosphere, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from burning fossil fuels. These pollutants can mix with water vapor in the atmosphere, forming sulfuric and nitric acid that falls to the ground as acid rain.
What is the reaction of nitrogen dioxide with water?
When nitrogen dioxide reacts with water, it forms nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide.
What are the 3 main gases in acid rain?
Carbon dioxide (forms carbonic acid) Sulphur dioxide (forms sulphuric acid) Nitrogen dioxide (forms nitric acid)
Carbon react with dilute hydrochloric acid?
Carbon don't react with acids, except concentrated Nitric acid. Concentrated nitric acid reacts with carbon to produce Water, Carbon dioxide, and Nitrogen dioxide.
Why is nitric acid yellow?
It is due to nitric dioxide gas contamination. Very pure nitric acid is clear because the synthesis of it removes it of nitric dioxide.
