Answer:

When fuels are burned in vehicle engines, high temperatures are reached. At these high temperatures, nitrogen and oxygen from the air combine to produce nitrogen monoxide. When this nitrogen monoxide is released from vehicle exhaust systems, it combines with oxygen in the air to form nitrogen dioxide.

Explanation:

Nitrogen and oxygen from the air combine at high temperatures in the engine to produce nitrogen (II) oxide by the reaction :

N2(g) + O2(g) → 2NO(g).

Nitric oxides rise in the atmosphere and are oxidized to nitrogen dioxide, NO2 which dissolves in the precipitating water to form acid rain.

Answer: Event 1 is an example of a physical change and Event 2 is an example of a chemical change.

Explanation: Physical change is one in which there is no change in chemical composition of the substance. There is only a change in phase change.

Chemical change is a change in which there is a change in chemical composition and there might or might not be a phase change.

On Boiling, the water molecules remain bonded in the same form and only covert from liquid to gaseous form, thus is a physical change.

On Rusting of iron nail, the iron changes to iron oxide by combining with oxygen, there is a rearrangement of atoms and thus is a chemical change.

$Fe+O_2+H_2O\rightarrow Fe_2O_3.xH_2O$
