What is produced when petrol is burnt?
Oxides of Sulphur and Nitrogen.....i guess and maybe Carbon monoxide....
Why does sulfur have to be removed out of petrol and diesel before they are burnt?
When it is burnt, it will react with the oxygen making sulphur Dioxide, which is a harmful gas -- S(aq) +O2(g) ->SO2(g)
How are nitrogen oxides produced in a petrol engine?
it was daisy
What gas is formed when petrol burns?
carbon- dioxide and carbon- monoxide
Why is there lead in petrol?
It is lubrication for the upper part of European engines it was banned in 1975 in the usa
What poisonous gas can be formed from sulphur compounds when petrol is burned?
sulphur dioxide is formed from sulphur compounds when petrol is burned
Why is sulfur dioxide produced in a petrol engine?
because when petrol burns it produces sulfur dioxide
Why does burning petrol in a car engine produce carbon dioxide as well as carbon monoxide?
because the petrol reacts with the air forming sulphur dioxide. Then the sulphur dioxide goes through the catalytic converter and is then change into a less harmful gas, carbon diioxide and carbon monoxide.
Why is sulphur removed from petrol before it is used as a fuel for motor vehicles?
Sulphur is removed from petrol in some countries because burning petroleum releases sulphur dioxide. This mixes with water vapour and rain in the atmosphere to cause acid rain.
What is produced when petrol is burnt?
Oxides of Sulphur and Nitrogen.....i guess and maybe Carbon monoxide....
When buring petrol in motor vehiclestwo gases fromwhich contribute to acid rain. What are the two gases?
NItrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide
What acid does sulfur dioxide form?
Sulphur dioxide is an intermediate towards producing Sulphurous acid. It is a chemical compound produced by volcanoes, burning coal and petrol, such fumes passing into the air produce acid rain thus are a cause for being an environmental concern.
Does car works on heat produced by petrol when it is burnt?
Yes. Gasoline and diesel engines are both heat engines.
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).
Why is the fuel burned in the car with the aluminum alloy body better for the environment than petrol?
Only water is produced No carbon dioxide is produced Less carbon dioxide produced or less global warming
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.
What products are produced when petrol reacts with oxygen?
carbon dioxidecarbon monoxidewatersulphur dioxide may be formed depending on sulphur contentvarious unburned hydrocarbons if not enough oxygen is availablenitrogen oxides will be formed if reaction happens in closed chamber with ordinary air (e.g. internal combustion engine)
