a. Combustion equation:
Fuel + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy
b. During combustion the nitrogen in air can react to form what gases?
Nitrogen in air reacts and forms nitrogen oxide.
c. What condition is necessary for this reaction to take place?
For the reaction to take place you need high temperature.
d. In what common object is this condition found?
A high temperature.
e. Why is this condition needed for nitrogen to react?
It is needed because nitrogen is an inert.
f. What are the dangers of the products from this reaction?
Nitric acid is formed which is one of the compounds used in acid rain.
5.11 part d. cars are the common object!
ReplyDeletepart e. the covalent triple bond between the nitrogen atoms is very strong - that is why high temperatures are needed to break the bonds
