Answer: combustion causes a chemical reaction between nitrogen and oxygen in the engine.
Explanation:
Nitrogen oxides are produced in combustion processes, partly from nitrogen compounds in the fuel, but mostly by direct combination of atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen in flames. Nitrogen oxides are produced naturally by lightning, and also, to a small extent, by microbial processes in soils.
HI
So, the formula for water is H2O
When you have the same amount of the reactants , hydrogen will be the limiting reactant.
Limiting reactant is the thing that runs out first.
It forms something called a bond.
