What is the four main harmful constituents of petrol engine exhaust emissions?
carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter, hydrocarbons
Where is the nox sensor?
A NOX sensor is a nitrogen oxide sensor. It is used in a car's exhaust system to check emissions for nitrogen oxide.
What is the colour of fumes of nitrogen oxide gas?
Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless nontoxic gas.
What does a catalytic converter do and how does it do it?
A catalytic converter- (cat-con) takes raw engine exhaust (CO, unburnt fuel, nitrogen oxide) which are very harmful to the air we breathe. (nitro oxide causes acid rain) It catalyzes (splits) the molecules into water vapor, and CO2. CO2 is still harmful to the environment, but not as much as the acidic nitrogen oxide. The water vapor being produced is what makes the steam come out of your exhaust pipe on cold days. Catalytic converters are very helpful (and lawfully required) to the environment. The only problem is that they need to warm up from exhaust heat before they begin to catalyze the exhaust. So about the first 10 minutes of driving are the most harmful ones. And for the last downside of cat-cons, they are made of Earth's most precious metal, platinum. That is why they are so expensive.
Neutral oxide of nitrogen?
NO is the simplest oxide of nitrogen.
Name the compound NO?
It is the molecular compound Nitric Oxide (not Nitrous Oxide)
What is the difference between nitrogen oxide and nitrogen monoxide?
Nitrogen has many oxides like Nitrogen dioxide, Nitrous oxide, etc. Nitrogen monoxide refers to a single compound with formula NO. Whereas Nitrogen oxide can refer any higher or lower oxide of nitrogen. It can refer to Nitrous oxide, Nitric oxide, Dinitrogen trioxide, etc.
How are nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide involved in acid deposition?
These gases form acids (sulphuric and nitric acidsrespectively) by reacting with oxygen an water present in air the first rain of the season contains droplets of these acids and effect the all material which is hit by such rain.
Nitric oxide has what in it?
Nitrogen oxide is composed of the elements, nitrogen and oxygen.
What is the chemical formula of nitrogen IV oxide?
Nitrogen dioxide NO2 Nitrogen(IV) oxide
What is a vacuum modulator e g r valve?
The exhaust gas recirculation valve uses exhaust gases in order to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, it does this by recirculating a portion of an engines exhaust gases back to the cylinders.
What do Nitrogen and oxygen form?
Nitrogen oxide can refer to a binary compound of oxygen and nitrogen, or a mixture of such compounds.
