One condition is heat. This is why oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are sometimes formed in car engines where the temperature is high. Another condition is the presence of a suitable catalyst which will lower the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.

How many atoms in nitrogen and oxygen?

Nitrogen has 1 atom in a molecule, represented by the chemical symbol N. Oxygen typically exists as O2, with 2 oxygen atoms bonded together.


What is ratio of no2?

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) consists of one nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms, giving it a ratio of 1:2 between nitrogen and oxygen. This means that for every 1 nitrogen atom, there are 2 oxygen atoms in a molecule of nitrogen dioxide.


What is a balanced chemical equation for how a catalytic converter works?

In a catalytic converter, carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) react with oxygen (O2) to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This process is shown by the balanced chemical equation: 2CO + 2HC + O2 -> 2CO2 + H2O


How many atoms and elements does N2O5 have?

What do you call nitrogen and oxygen together?

Nitrogen and oxygen together can form a couple of compounds. 1. Nitric Oxide, or nitrogen monoxide, is composed of one nitrogen and one oxygen. 2. Nitrous Oxide, or laughing gas, is composed of two nitrogen and one oxygen.

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.


Air is composed primarily of what 2 gasses?

When lightning takes place in sky a high temperature is produced At this temperature nitrogen and oxygen react to form what gas?

The primary reaction at high temperature is: N2 + O2 --> 2NO (nitric oxide) Note that nitric oxide is rapidly oxidized in air to nitrogen dioxide (the brown gas that is prevalent in smog) by the reaction: 2 NO + O2 → 2 NO2 When dissolved into water (such as rain), nitric oxide reacts to form Nitrous acid by the reaction: 4 NO + O2 + 2 H2O → 4 HNO2 and nitrogen dioxide can also react with water to form Nitric acid by the reaction: 3 NO2 + H2O → 2 HNO3 + NO.


What molecule compound contains 1 nitrogen atom for every 2 oxygen atoms?
