Is nitrogen oxide a fossil fuel?
No. Most nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere are a product of combustion of some fossil fuel in air, when the heat of combustion is sufficient to activate reactions between atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen, but the oxides are not present in the fuel itself.
What was Earths first atmosphere was created by?
The earths first atmosphere was created by the methane, carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides and water vapor that volcanoes were pumping out. Oxygen started to come in noticeable quantities once life had formed. Nitrogen is inert, so doesn't do anything.
What is a major contributor to the formation of acid rain?
The burning of fossil fuels is the largest contributor to acid precipitation. It is caused by sulfur and nitrogen reaction with the atmosphere.
How is nitrogen from the atmosphere brought into the ground?
Nitrogen in the atmosphere is converted into nitrogen in the soil by a process called nitrogen fixation, which is carried out by a number of different types of bacteria. Some of these bacteria grow on the roots of certain plants, such as clover, alfalfa, and peanuts, and provide nitrogen to the plant and the soil. ----------------------------------------- Lightning also causes some atmospheric nitrogen to be converted into oxides of nitrogen. These dissolve in rain water and are brought to the ground in the rain.
Composition of atmosphere in 1900 ce?
Same as today; 79% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 1% "everything else", which includes carbon dioxide, various oxides of nitrogen, argon, xenon, radon and assorted other gasses.
What makes rainwater acidic artificially?
Nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides released into the atmosphere form sulfuric and nitric acid when they come in contact with moisture,
How is nitrogen oxides involve in the formation of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere?
Sulfur oxides from the combustion of sulfur containing fuels for atmospheric sulfurous and sulfuric acid. Nitrogen oxides form nitrous and nitric acids.
What pollutants come from vehicles?
Carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides.
What gas can make acid rain?
It is caused by the emission of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere.
Is nitrogen oxide a fossil fuel?
No. Most nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere are a product of combustion of some fossil fuel in air, when the heat of combustion is sufficient to activate reactions between atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen, but the oxides are not present in the fuel itself.
Does nitrogen clean atmosphere?
No, Nitrogen in air combines transforms into nitrogen oxides that are air pollutants and combine with atmospheric vapor causing acid rain that harms agriculture.
What substances responsible for acid precipitation are released into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels?
Oxides of nitrogen and sulphur.
How is green chemistry related to ride a bike?
No carbon, sulfur, nitrogen oxides, etc. are released in the atmosphere.
Are dust particles a cause of acid rain?
No. Acid rain is the result of nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides put into the atmosphere by volcanoes and the burning of fossil fuels.
How does car exhaust pollut e the atmosphere?
By emitting Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, and Hydrocarbons.
What human activities relase sulphur dioxide carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Burning of fossil fuels
What is the formation of oxides of nitrogen and eventually nitrates as nitrogen fixing?
Reactions for the formation of oxides of nitrogen and nitrates as nitrogen fixing
