Do burning fuels add nitrogen to the atmosphere?
Yes, burning fossil fuel adds nitrogen, in the form of nitric oxide, to 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.
What is the name for the compound Cu2O?
Copper (I) Oxide or Cuprous Oxide
Is magnesium oxide amphoteric?
No, only aluminum oxide, lead oxide and zinc oxide are amphoteric oxides.
What is the name of Cu2O?
CuO = Cupric Oxide Cupric = Cu2+ and is not Cu The correct answer would be CuO = Copper Monoxide Copper (II) oxide is the name of the compound CuO.
Is composite oxides are mixed oxide?
burning of fuel is a chemical reaction which makes the fuel to combine with oxygen thus forming an oxide
Is carbon di oxide a good fuel?
it can be the good fuel for photosynthesis but not for vehicles.
What effect of nitrous oxide in cars?
Nitrous oxide causes more of the fuel to burn, resulting in more power.
What do biological motors use for fuel?
Gases such as oxide synthase.
What happens to fuel rods that are used to create nuclear fission?
You have a misapprehension there, it is uranium oxide that is used in fuel rods, not fossil fuel
Why is plutonium in a nuclear power sation?
Plutonium (as a metal or oxide , mixed oxide, carbide) can be used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
What is the use of nickel oxide?
Some applications of nickel oxide (NiO) are: catalysts, ceramics, steels, batteries, fuel cells, etc.
What is fuel used in a nuclear fission called?
It mainly uranium fuel. Sometimes, it is used MOX fuel (MOX is Mixed uranium plutonium Oxide fuel)
What can you mix plutonium and uranium with?
The purpose is to obtain a MOX fuel (mixed oxide fuel) for nuclear power reactors.
Is Uranium 238 a good nuclear fuel?
No, because it does not fission like U-235 does. However it does transmute under neutron irradiation to plutonium, which if separated out can then be used in fuel, this is called MOX or mixed oxide fuel, and is part U-235, part Pu-239 in oxide form.
What are nitrogen oxide emissions and how do they affect the environment?
Nitrogen oxide emissions are the product of fuel burning at high temperatures. It affects the environment by contributing to acid rain.
What is the purpose of uranium oxide?
The uranium dioxide - UO2 - is a very important nuclear fuel.
