How is organic nitrogen produced?

Because nitrogen is usually very unreactive, it is only commonly found in internal combustion engines (car engines) where the temperature is high enough to make the nitrogen react.


Toxic gas produced by internal-combustion engines?

Carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are the primary toxic gases produced by internal combustion engines. These gases can have harmful effects on human health and the environment, contributing to air pollution and smog formation. It is important to reduce emissions from engines through proper maintenance and use of emission control technologies.


What type of cars use internal combustion engines?

Gasoline and Diesel engines are internal combustion engines. The fuel explodes (combusts) internally (in the cylinder) and releases energy that is used to move the vehicle. Electric engines and steam engines are not internal combustion engines by definition. Steam engines combust their fuel externally to the "engine". The vast majority of passenger vehicles produced throughout history are driven by internal combustion engines.


Are Gasoline engines and diesel engines external or internal combustion engines?

They are both internal combustion engines


Which type of engine is classified as internal combustion?

Reciprocating engines (piston engines) are internal combustion engines. Rotary engines ( Wankel engine) is also an internal combustion engine. In general, all types of engines in which the combustion chamber is an integrating part of the engine is considered a internal combustion engine.


What is the term used for this definition the sharp metallic sound produced by the combustion of petroleum?

The term you are looking for is "knock" in relation to combustion in internal combustion engines, specifically in the context of gasoline engines.


Does nitrogen oxidize?

Yes - but it usually takes high temperatures to get it to happen - like you get in internal combustion engines...

How do internal combustion engines work?

Internal combustion engines work by burning a mixture of fuel and air inside a combustion chamber. This creates a controlled explosion that pushes pistons, which then turn a crankshaft to generate power. The power produced is used to move the vehicle or machinery.


Are both Gasoline and diesel engines classified as external combustion engines?

No, they are both internal combustion engines.
