Nitrogen is not a reaction, it is a chemical element.

It is not normally involved in combustion reactions.

How is nitrogen dioxide formed in a car?

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.


What temperature does nitrogen gas burn?

Nitrogen burns to form Nitrogen Dioxide at about 2200F. It is an exothermic reaction, meaning it will produce heat sufficient to sustain itself if the heat is confined, for example in an internal combustion engine.


Why does nitrogen and oxygen react in a car engine?

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.


What type of simple chemical reaction takes place in fireworks?

Fireworks typically involve a combustion reaction, where a fuel (such as gunpowder) rapidly reacts with an oxidizer (such as potassium nitrate) to produce heat, light, and gases like carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Different metal salts are added to produce the vibrant colors seen in fireworks.


What is the chemical equation for the combustion of nitrogen?

Nitrogen does not combust as it is already in a stable diatomic form (N2). However, nitrogen can react with oxygen at high temperatures to form nitrogen oxides such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or nitric oxide (NO). The general equation for the combustion of nitrogen would involve the formation of nitrogen oxides rather than a direct combustion of nitrogen.


If you say 'oxygen gas supports combustion' are you talking about a chemical or physical reaction?

Combustion is a hemical reaction.


Where are all the products of a hydrocarbon combustion reaction?

The products of a hydrocarbon combustion reaction are usually carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Other by-products can include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur oxides (SOx), depending on the composition of the hydrocarbon and the conditions of the reaction.


How combustion formed?

Combustion is a an oxydation reaction, a reaction with oxygen.


What is a property of a combustion reaction?

A combustion reaction is an oxidation reaction - combustion need oxygen; the products are water and carbon dioxide.


Can you use nitrogen in your car?

No, as nitrogen on its own does not support combustion. Combustion is technically an oxidation process (reaction of a chemical with oxygen) and without oxygen, combustion of any fuel would be impossible to achieve.If you are suggesting using nitrogen as a fuel, that is not viable as well since nitrogen is not highly combustible (otherwise air which is 23% oxygen and 75% nitrogen would permanently be combusting).Nitrogen storage would also be a problem since to store nitrogen as liquid, very high pressures are needed and liquid nitrogen is very cold (-190 Degrees C)


Does ammonia burn in oxygen?

Yes, ammonia can burn in the presence of oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide, water, and nitrogen gas as byproducts. This combustion reaction can occur under specific conditions, such as with a high temperature ignition source.


What type of reaction involves oxygen and produces light and heat decomposition reaction double replacement reaction combustion reaction or combination reation?

The type of reaction that involves oxygen and produces light and heat is a combustion reaction.
