because of combustion
Nitrogen dioxide is formed in a car's engine when nitrogen oxide (NO) reacts with oxygen (O2) in the presence of heat and pressure. This reaction takes place during the combustion process of fuel in the engine, resulting in the production of nitrogen dioxide as a byproduct.
Nitrogen and oxygen can react to form oxides of nitrogen. The reaction can occur whenever a combustion reaction takes place in the presence of nitrogen. It could take place in a car engine because it is where fuel combusts and the temperature within engines can be high. The products formed are NO (nitric oxide) and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) which are of harm to the environment.
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2 ) is produced by the sparking of air, the Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is produced due to the combustion of carbon in the hydrocarbon fuel.
In a car engine, oxygen and nitrogen from the air can react due to the high temperatures created during combustion. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are formed as a byproduct of this reaction, which is a contributor to air pollution.
Oxygen and petrol or diesel is burned in a car engine, it is not formed
When hydrocarbons are burned, carbon dioxide is formed. If the hydrocarbon is burned in low amount of oxygen, carbon monoxide can be formed. Carbon monoxide is harmful for animals.
Car exhaust is particulate matter. Other examples of particulate matter are swirls of dust being blown in the wind, and the soot and ashes from a campfire.
Air pollution, specifically in the form of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide, can be formed by car exhaust and burning coal or oil. These pollutants contribute to smog, acid rain, and respiratory issues in humans.
No, car exhaust is primarily composed of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons, with smaller amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.
It stops the car from emitting harmful gasses by the following reactions: Carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide into carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas Unburnt hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water
