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.

What is the volume at STP, in liters, occupied by 26.4 g of F2 gas?

Papessa [141]

Answer:

volume = 15.568dm³

Explanation:

n = mass/molar mass

n = 26.4/38

n = 0.675mole

0.695 = volume/22.4dm³

volume = 15.568dm³

What kind of intermolecular forces act between two ammonia molecules

iragen [17]

Answer:

extensive hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The high boiling points of water, hydrogen fluoride (HF) and ammonia (NH3) is an effect of the extensive hydrogen bonding between the molecules. The London dispersion force is caused by random and temporary changes in the polarity of atoms, caused by the location of the electrons in the atoms' orbitals.

Hope this helps :)

What is true when an element is oxidized? It bonds with the hydroxide ion. It loses electrons to another element. It reacts with

Mama L [17]

Answer: It loses electrons to another element.

Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.

$Fe\rightarrow Fe^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction is the process in which an element gains electrons and there is a decrease in the oxidation state.

$\frac{1}{2}O_2+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}$
