How are nitrogen oxides produced in a petrol engine?
it was daisy
What is produced when petrol is burnt?
Oxides of Sulphur and Nitrogen.....i guess and maybe Carbon monoxide....
What are the products when petrol is completely burnt?
water, carbon dioxide, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, a small residue of incombustible material
Why are lead compounds added to petrol and how it is harmful?
lead compounds are harmful if added to petrol as it cause cancer, poison the catalytic converter (use to convert harmful gases into less harmful gases/harmless, emmision of greenhouse gases and increase the amount of oxides of nitrogen which results in acid rain.
Why is there lead in petrol?
It is lubrication for the upper part of European engines it was banned in 1975 in the usa

How nitrogen oxides are produced in petrol engine?
There are N in fuel. In very high heat N is oxidized into its maximum
What are the products when petrol is completely burnt?
water, carbon dioxide, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, a small residue of incombustible material
Why does your car have bad gas fumes?
it has fumes because when you drive your car is burning the petrol/diesel you fill up with which results in it producing nitrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides.
When gasoline is burned in an engine does it evaporate?
No - petrol combustion is a rapid oxidisation which is an exothermal reaction... it creates heat, and heated air expands. The fuel (petrol) is made of a composition mostly comprising hydrogens, carbons, a little sulphur and nitrogen. Air contains mostly nitrogen, and about 1/5th of air is oxygen capable of causing oxidation in the right circumstance. The gasoline/petrol fuel is changed in this chemical reaction, broken into component parts and reforms as Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, oxides of sulphur, oxides of nitrogen and a fair bit of oxides of hydrogen... or water vapour (the only non-nasty part of the exhaust) although this water is superheated steam at that point. A poorly tuned petrol engine will also spit out unburned petrol as a vapour only where not enough oxygen was present at ignition. That is the only part of petrol that evaporates and only when it is not working right.

How is nitrogen oxide formed from burning petrol?
Nitrogen is formed by giving off petrol
Is the 1995 Volkswagen transporter 2.5 petrol gearbox the same as 1999 petrol 2.5?
Simple answer is no. The way that diesel engines produce and use power is totally different to the way petrol engines produce power, the diesels power is at the bottom of the rev range as opposed to the petrol engines being at the top of the rev range. Becuse of this diesel engine gearboxes use very long gear ratios and petrol engine gearboxes use very short ratios. If you put a diesel engine onto a petrol gearbox the effect would be that in fifth gear at max revs you'll be travelling at 40mph.
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.
Why do car engines produce more carbon monoxide when they are stationary?
They don't produce more. It is the fact that they are sitting there doing nothing and using petrol for no reason is why it is bad.
What are the disadvantages of petrol engines?
petrol does not last forever
