sulfur dioxide is fairy reactive in air, it reacts with water in the air to form sulfurous acid, which is acid rain, SO2(g) + H2O(l) H2SO3(aq). Acid rain pretty much kills plants.
secondary pollutant. deals with oxygen in air
Nitrogen oxide forms when nitrogen reacts with oxygen. The word equation for this reaction is: nitrogen + oxygen → nitrogen oxide.
The symbol for nitrogen oxide is NO.
Nitrogen dioxide NO2 Nitrogen(IV) oxide
Lightning produces nitrogen oxides, which are pollutants that can contribute to smog and acid rain when they react with other compounds in the atmosphere.
I theorize that since oxygen and nitrogen are both present in the atmosphere, there must be nitrous oxide in the air already. Therefore, I conclude that N2O will not have negative affects on the atmosphere.
Two substances in the atmosphere that can combine with nitrogen and sulfur oxide from fossil fuel combustion are oxygen and water vapor. When nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide emissions react with oxygen and water vapor in the atmosphere, they form nitrogen dioxide and sulfuric acid, respectively, contributing to air pollution and acid rain.
Nitrogen oxide is considered a primary pollutant because it is directly emitted into the atmosphere from sources such as vehicle exhaust and industrial activities.
Nitrogen oxide is not considered an acid because it does not dissociate in water.
Sulfuric acid and nitric acid are obtained.
secondary pollutant. deals with oxygen in air
No, nitrous is not the same thing as nitrogen. Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a compound made up of nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen is a chemical element that makes up about 78 of Earth's atmosphere and is a separate substance from nitrous oxide.
NO is the simplest oxide of nitrogen.
Nitrogen, Oxygen,Hydrogen, and Carbon Di-oxide are the common Gases in the Atmosphere.
Burning of fossil
Nitrogen is a normal component (about 80%) of the air you breathe. It is inert under most circumstances (excluding deep sea work where nitrogen narcosis or Rapture of the Deeps, might occur) When there is too much nitrogen in the air, it is usually looked at as too little oxygen. Though nitrogen is a naturally occurring in air, nitrogen oxide, which is mainly produced by road traffic. In excess it is known to give rise to acid rain. The main affect of NO2 in air is that it contributes to the formation of photochemical smog. It can also cause respiratory problems because it causes inflammation of the lining of the lungs and reduce immunity to lung infections
